While Mom was shopping in our Family Choice Market, this little guy decided to do some shopping of his own! As you can see, his cart is packed with sweets. 😄

But thanks to the generosity of our community, our market is stocked with much more than treats. Families can choose from shelf-stable foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, perishable meats, and all the ingredients needed to prepare healthy meals for growing children.

Summer can be especially difficult for families when school is out and children no longer have access to school meals.

Would you consider making a financial gift today to help feed local families with children?

Did you know we can purchase approximately 300 pounds of meat through our local food bank for just $60?

A financial gift can help put nutritious food on the table for families right here in our community.

If you are writing us a check in the memo line please put “Food Pantry”

You can also give online directly through our FB page 🙂

Thank you so much!!

Together, we can make sure no child goes hungry this summer. ❤️

For the time being, I am only sending an email to my contacts asking them not to click any links or open any attachments contained in that message. I'll also be pointing out the red flags in the email so people can recognize similar scams in the future.

Several people have already told me they immediately knew it wasn't me. Apparently that's because I have a tendency to over-explain everything.

Honestly, that's probably true.

Those who know me know that if I send you an email, you're usually going to get far more information than you ever wanted. A short, vague message with a random attachment and almost no details will ALWAYS be your clue.

Thank you to everyone who reached out, alerted me, and avoided clicking the link. I appreciate your patience while I work through this.

Please see this post as a reminder to reset your passwords often.

VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! You may have received an email from me today containing links. Please do NOT click any links or open any attachments from that email. My email account was compromised, and the message was not sent by me. I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. You may get the text twice because I am trying to get the message out to everyone as quickly as possible. The best thing to do is to change your email password that you received the email on. In fact, it's good to change that periodically anyways. Change it now while you are thinking about it.

I'm proud to have Dusty's Tree Service llc featured on our local mailers. Look at what his customers have to say.

Sometimes it's the little things that leave the biggest impression.

Ryan called us for oak tree removal, stump grinding, and debris cleanup. What stood out most to him wasn't just the work itself. It was the extra care, honest service, and attention to detail along the way.

We're grateful for the opportunity to serve homeowners throughout Dunnellon, Ocala, and Citrus County, and even more grateful for reviews like this one.

Need tree removal, stump grinding, tree trimming, or storm cleanup?

Last year, many businesses from Market at the Depot joined in. Triton Construction LLC, The Pink Room, Southern Cutz Barber Parlor, Empowering Health thru Nutrition, and so many others joined in the co-op baskets! It's too many to look up to name in this post.

Want in the basket? Here’s what makes great additions:

🧢 Branded t-shirts, hats, or totes
🥤 Stainless steel tumblers or water bottles
🎁 Gift cards or service coupons ($5–$25)
🧴 Lip balm, sunscreen, or sanitizer with your logo
🧲 Magnets, decals, or keychains
🔦 Flashlights, multitools, or mini first aid kits
🛁 Candles, soaps, or bath salts
🚗 Car air fresheners or pop sockets
🛍 Reusable shopping bags
☕Wine, Coffee, etc.

You can donate non-swag items to and I'll attach your business card to it.

Let’s show some Citrus County children and teens love! ❤️🎅

When you see me out over the next few weeks, feel free to give me the item you want in one of the baskets. I hope to do more than one basket again. I'll add it to a basket and once they are full, I'll drop them at the Chamber!
