Produce is brought into a prep room which has a manual conveyor belt that will

hold up to 150 boxes. Produce is immediately sorted-through before being placed in the

large refrigerator, and overly-ripe or rotting items are removed. The prep room will also be

used for filling boxes of food for pickup on food distribution days.

To clear up the confusion as to the differing functions of the two agencies, guides

explained that the Community Food Bank of Citrus County supplies food to the various

agencies and food banks in the area that, in turn, deliver the food to individuals, while The

We Care Food Pantry is one of those agencies, a food bank, which distributes its food to its

individual clients on the west side of the county - currently a whopping 2,600 clients per

month - but not to other agencies unless it receives a donation larger than it’s capacity, and

then the food bank hustles to make arrangements with the other food banks for pickup, and

no food is ever wasted!
