When kids go hungry, everything else stops.
Help us fill the $13.8 million hunger gap in Citrus County.
Our Programs
Our organization was founded on a simple but powerful mission: rescuing surplus food and redirecting it to neighbors in need. That food recovery program laid the foundation for who we are today, and as our programs grew and community needs evolved, it was thoughtfully transitioned to another organization with the capacity to continue this important work. That legacy remains at the heart of our mission. As the needs of our community evolved, so did our organization, allowing us to focus our resources where they could have the greatest impact on local children and families.
Providing food for over 2600 local students.
Fresh produce every week over the summer.
A staggering 80% 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 31 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.
