Bringing Help Closer to Home
We're not waiting for families to come to us. We're going to them!
Sometimes, the biggest barrier to getting help is simply getting there.
The Family Resource Center is changing that with The Pit Stop, bringing essential resources directly into Citrus County elementary schools so children and families can get support where they already are.
What Will The Pit Stop Provide?
Food: Shelf-stable groceries and family essentials
Clothing: Clothes and shoes for children in need
Hygiene: Toiletries and personal care products
School Supplies: Essentials to help children succeed
Emergency Support: Basic necessities for families facing housing instability
Family Resources: Connections to additional community assistance
First Stop: Forest Ridge Elementary
Opening January 2027!
In partnership with the Citrus County Education Foundation, our first school-based resource room will open at Forest Ridge Elementary.
Our long-term goal is to expand The Pit Stop to all 11 Citrus County elementary schools.
Help Us Make It Happen!
Just $20 a month or $240 a year can help provide essential needs for a local child.
We welcome support from individuals, businesses, churches, and community organizations through sponsorships, supply donations, volunteering, and partnerships.
For 40 years, we've been helping Citrus County families. Now we're bringing that help even closer.
The Pit Stop: Meeting needs and creating experiences for Citrus County children.
