“We are thrilled to have an opportunity to raise awareness and interest around the impact food insecurity has on families in our community,” said Stuart Haniff, the chief development officer at Harry Chapin Food Bank. “For 40 years, Harry Chapin Food Bank has led the fight against hunger in Southwest Florida. Events like this allow us to continue to shine a light on our vision of a community where no person is hungry.”
