Mission of Citrus Homeless
Veteran Shelter In Need
The Center for Victim Rights,
the owner being a veteran herself, is
asking for the community to help collect
items for the Mission of Citrus Veterans
Homeless Shelter.
Cynthia Holder has been watch-
ing and helping the Mission feed, house,
and generally help so many homeless that
others turn away that she is compelled to
do what she can to do her small part to
help those less fortunate than herself.
Cynthia is reaching out to the
generous folks here in Levy and Citrus
counties where she has called home for
25+ years and pleading with them to help
out in whatever way they can. Please
open your hearts and your wallets and
help the less fortunate.
If you have any questions feel
free to call Cynthia Holder at 352-628-
6481. Along with the following items
your prayers are encouraged and always
warmly welcomed!
Some of the much needed items include:
