We are excited to see our friend and Hunger Hero, Nancy Kennedy, recently being honored by Comcast as a Champion of the Community. Additionally, the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed November 4, 2025 as, “Nancy Kennedy Day.”

“Nancy Kennedy is a dedicated advocate and tireless champion in the fight against hunger in Citrus County,” says Barbara Sprague, CEO/Executive Director of the Community Food Bank. “With a passion for helping those in need, Nancy has devoted countless hours to raising awareness and supporting the Community Food Bank and our partner agencies in alleviating food insecurity. She is well-deserving of this esteemed honor!”
