Everyone can participate in Lee County Transit’s (LeeTran) food drive this Sunday, Sep. 20. A fleet of 32 buses will be deployed to Publix locations throughout Lee County between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to collect nonperishable food to benefit the Harry Chapin Food Bank.

The Publix locations participating range from Del Tura in North Fort Myers down to Bonita Beach Road, and Camelot Isles in Cape Coral to Homestead Plaza in Lehigh Acres.
