FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Thanks to a partnership with Bank of America, the Harry Chapin Food Bank now has more than $91,000 to feed the hungry in Southwest Florida.

This is the seventh year Bank of America has partnered with Feeding America and its nationwide network of food banks, including the Harry Chapin Food Bank in Fort Myers.

The food bank says more than a 154,000 people in Southwest Florida are considered "food insecure."

And a reminder, right now the Harry Chapin Food Bank is hosting its "donated not wasted" food campaign. Seasonal residents and visitors are encouraged to donate unopened food items
before leaving the area.
