The May 15 distribution was hosted by State Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto and State Rep. Spencer Roach. Members of the East Lee County Chamber of Commerce (formerly the Greater Lehigh Acres Chamber of Commerce), Lehigh Community Services and the Salvation Army were on hand to help distribute the food to the many families who showed up.
