The Mission In Citrus is proud to announce their seventh anniversary. It has been a long and rugged road, but the homeless proved that they could help each other since 2008. The new face of homelessness is veterans, and they have become a priority. The numbers in rural America continue to increase.The Mission in Citrus has helped lead the way in innovative projects that work to reduce the numbers.

The Mission in Citrus would like to thank Winn Dixie Supermarkets, and the Southeastern Grocers Association for reaching out to help so many in need. Their help has allowed them to help those in the woods and swamps of rural Florida. Getting them into shelters for further help, and to supply food to thousands. They hope that many other Corporations will follow their lead.

The Mission in Citrus thanks Walmart as they approach their seventh year anniversary. The Mission in Citrus just awarded Larry Gamble and his family, Inverness Florida Walmart and their associates, a 2015 bronze plaque for their continued help and support of homeless veterans, men, women, and children. And to many in need in Citrus County Florida.

After five years, and a lot of hard work, the Mission in Citrus Veteran's Shelter is getting a total remodel and doubling in size. Homeless Veterans are getting even more help, that is on it's way.. They have proven that HUD-VASH Vouchers work through a unorthodox approach. Make It happen. Don't give up.. Veterans from around the United States come to the Mission to get jobs and get back on their feet.
