Why does Harry Chapin charge for food?

By Staff | Mar 3, 2009

To The Editor,

Thank you for your informative article on the Christ United Methodist Church food kitchen, known as Our Daily Bread in last week’s Lehigh Acres Citizen.

I have one question. why does Harry Chapin Food Bank charge them for food?

The Harry Chapin food bank collects money in donations so their food should be free.

The Harry Chapin Food Bank purchases semi trailers filled with food at very discounted prices. The food is very inexpensive to food kitchens and other help agencies. There may be a small cost for administrative fees. – Ed.
