Food is distributed by need and family size. We receive food
donations from local churches, from caring Citrus County
residents, and many civic organizations. We also purchase
food from America's Second Harvest. and local retailers.
Kash & Karry and Publix Supermarkets provide us with bread
and pastry for our clients. Our pantry staff packs bags of
food, keeps inventory, and orders needed replacements.
We have a well trained staff of 15 dedicated men and women,
but we are always in need of volunteers. |

Daystar receives clothing through contributions. Children's
clothing is always a need. A staff of 12 volunteers sort and
price clothing. We sell the clothing, but we also distribute
clothing to our needy clients. They receive vouchers that
they can spend in the thrift shop on clothing for themselves
and their families. |
| We provide
financial aid to those clients who are in a crisis
situation. We help with utility shut-off notices, eviction
and foreclosure notices, and prescriptions. Financial help
is available to clients once a year. Our goal is to help
them help themselves. We have a compassionate staff of about
20 trained interviewers who share the duties each week. |
