At Orchid Realty International and Orchid Properties, community is at the heart of everything we do. Through our Local Love Community Initiative, we aim to give back to the Southwest Florida community that has given us so much. This quarter, we're thrilled to announce our partnership with the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida, an organization dedicated to fighting hunger and making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
Who is Harry Chapin Food Bank?
The Harry Chapin Food Bank is the largest hunger relief network in Southwest Florida. Its mission is simple yet impactful: to lead the fight to end hunger. The organization works tirelessly to source and distribute food to those who need it most, including children, families, seniors, and veterans. Through innovative programs like the mobile food pantry, fresh produce distribution, and school-based hunger-relief initiatives, Harry Chapin helps ensure no one in our community goes hungry.
In just one year, the food bank distributes millions of pounds of food, equivalent to tens of millions of meals. For every dollar donated, the Harry Chapin Food Bank provides $8 worth of food, demonstrating the incredible impact our community can have when we come together.
Raising Funds for a Cause That Matters
Our Local Love Community Initiative has taken on the mission of raising funds for the Harry Chapin Food Bank. By pooling resources from our team, clients, and partners, we’re committed to helping feed families in Southwest Florida. Through branded marketing efforts and the power of community, we’re spreading the word to maximize contributions.
Every dollar raised during this campaign supports Harry Chapin’s programs, helping to deliver nutritious meals to those who need them most. Whether through monetary donations, food drives, or volunteering, every effort helps create a stronger, healthier community.

Our partnership with Harry Chapin goes beyond fundraising — we also believe in hands-on community service. Recently, the Orchid Realty International and Orchid Properties team had the privilege of volunteering at the Harry Chapin Food Bank warehouse to pack produce for local families.
Together, we packaged 2,394 bags of produce, which will be distributed across Southwest Florida. These bags provide vital nutrients to individuals who might not otherwise have access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Seeing the direct impact of our efforts was both humbling and inspiring, and it reminded us of the power of teamwork and community care.
