History Harry Chapin Food Bank

The Harry Chapin Food Bank began on Long Island in 1980 and served a handful of agencies in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York. Today, the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida is the largest hunger-relief network in Southwest Florida, serving Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry and Lee counties.  The Paradise Coast region’s support for the program is enthusiastic and commendable.

Harry Chapin was a folk-rock singer-songwriter and performer active in many charitable causes. Chapin was only 38 years old when he was killed. The car he was driving was hit from behind by a tractor-trailer on the Long Island Expressway in Jericho, Long Island, NY.  Harry’s widow, gave permission to rename the food bank in his honor in 1994.
