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 2009 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 are obtaining fresh-picked Ruby Red Grapefruit from Florida or Texas and Seedless Navel Oranges from California and bringing them to you for the Holiday Season. Humphreys Market is again helping us locate high quality citrus. These Grade A Oranges and Grapefruit are a favorite for gifts to friends, employees, and business associates.
Fruit prices have increased slightly this year, but please remember that proceeds support grants to local nonprofits:
40 lb cases of oranges, grapefruit, or half oranges and half grapefruit are $65
20.lb cases of oranges, grapefuit, or half oranges and half grapefruit are $35
Customers may also designate a gift of oranges to the Central Illinois Foodbank through this program:
40 lb case of oranges for the Foodbank is $65
20 lb case of oranges for the Foodbank is $35
We will deliver your donated oranges directly to the Central Illinois Food bank.
