Partner Agencies Lee - Collier - Charlotte - Hendry - Glades

Nearly 160 partner agencies receive
food from the Harry Chapin Food Bank including churches, community centers, food pantries,
and children's shelters. Food Banking is by far the most efficient system to assure a fair
and equitable distribution of food destined for the needy. Any non-profit meeting minimal
requirements is eligible to become a partner agency.
Groups
seeking membership must make application and provide current documentation of their
non-profit status. They must also agree not to discriminate about clients served, not to
charge clients for service provided, maintain adequate records, practice safe food
handling and storage procedures, and be monitored by Food Bank staff to assure compliance.
Because
of the lack of food manufacturing companies in Southwest Florida, almost 80 percent of
what the Food Bank distributes must be transported by truck to the Food Bank, adding
significantly to the overall budget.
The agencies
make appointments to shop at the Food Bank using an inventory list to make their
selections from the current stock. Some of the more remote areas in the five-county
service area receive food deliveries several times a month based on their pre-faxed or
phoned requests
At least 60
percent of the clients served by these agencies are single parent families, many of which
are temporarily in need due to unfortunate circumstances and others who are among the
working poor of our community. After paying housing costs and utilities, many famiIies
have barely enough money left over for nutritional needs.
The food bank
system allows agencies to provide their clients with a more balanced diet than if they had
to rely solely on donations. By utilizing the food bank, agencies can save money and
stretch their Iimited budget for other worthwhile endeavors.
