Citrus County Harvest, a non-profit, 501c3 registered charity is dedicated to silencing the hunger. Every year, thousands of children are enrolled in the federal school breakfast and lunch assisted-meals program. Some of these children are so poor they go home on Friday, and don't eat another meal until they get to school on Monday.

Citrus County Harvest has been operating our Blessings program since 2009, with the singular purpose of helping feed these children of less fortunate families on the weekends.
