October Share the Plate
NCUU will continue to send Share the Plate donations to Citrus County Blessings in October. Their goal is to help children get enough food to develop healthy bodies and pay attention in school and beyond. Almost 17% of Citrus County residents are considered below the poverty level, nearly 25% of children are living in poverty. A staggering 71% of children enrolled in Citrus County’s public schools participate in the Free/Reduced lunch program. The Blessings program provides over 2600 local students in 31 schools with food to take home every Friday of the school year. The students are also given additional food to take home over the school breaks. Each child is recommended by a school employee.
