Our mission is to provide meals for local students and children in need through donors, partners, and volunteers.
About us
A staggering 70% of children enrolled in Citrus County’s public schools participate in the free and reduced price meal program. It’s obvious childhood hunger is prevalent issue in Citrus County. Citrus County Harvest operates a hunger relief program through 28 local schools, provides food during the summer months to impoverish children and participates in local food recovery efforts. As a 501 C (3) organization battling food insecurity since 1999, Harvest is helping kids get enough food to develop healthy bodies and pay attention in school. Our “Blessings” program is dedicated to silencing the weekend hunger of local children in need. Each week during the school year participants in the program receive a bag of food to take home for the weekend. Students enrolled in the federally funded free or reduced breakfast and lunch program are eligible to participate in the Blessings program.

With school back in session, our Citrus County Blessings program is here to ensure that no child faces the weekend wondering if they will eat. In addition, we provide food during extended school breaks because hunger doesn't take a vacation, and neither do we.
