Rotary Club of Springfield's John Montgomery Memorial Citrus Sale
This year's annual Citrus Sale is again dedicated to the memory of John Montgomery who passed away in 2099 and was a community leader and member of our club for over 53 years.
Since 1975, when we began selling fresh citrus, we have provided nearly $1.4 million in grants to local charities through proceeds from this annual fundraiser!
We obtain fresh-picked Ruby Red Grapefruit from Florida and Seedless Oranges from California and bring them to you for the Holiday Season. The hurricanes in Florida have damaged some groves, but Humphreys Market is again helping us locate comparably high quality citrus. These Grade A Oranges and Grapefruit are a favorite for gifts to friends, employees, and business associates. Donors may also designate a gift of oranges to the Central Illinois Foodbank through this program.
Fruit can be ordered through a member of the Rotary Club of Springfield, by phone or internet.
