Sunkist Grove’s name has a purpose
Named after the area’s once-prominent citrus farming heritage, Sunkist Grove is about 10 miles north of Miami. The neighborhood's residents are served by a community center that’s a hub for after-school activities and services for those who need a little help. The neighborhood stresses the need for recreation, as its residents are never too far from a small or large park, usually the centerpiece of a diamond-shaped intersection.
An up-and-coming neighborhood, Sunkist Grove is a beautiful and desirable place to live in.

Sunkist Grove Community Center
The Sunkist Grove Community Center is at the center of the neighborhood where 125th Street and 13th Avenue meet at the diamond-shaped intersection. “The center has a tutorial program for after-school help. It gives kids a place to go after school,” says Judy Brown, a resident of the Sunkist Grove neighborhood for 40 years and president of the neighborhood association. Computer labs can be used inside, and there’s a multi-purpose serving kitchen and an attached food pantry. The NoMi Food Pantry is run by the North Miami Housing and Social Services Department and was placed there because North Miami has one of the highest poverty rates in Miami-Dade County. People who need the services of the food pantry must meet specific requirements. “The food bank is active twice a month for people who need that service,” Brown says.
Sunkist Grove Community Center is home to NoMi Food Pantry.

There’s also a playground and a full basketball court behind the Sunkist Grove Community Center.
