Such a great event !!! Happy to volunteer with Interfaith Emergency Services

06/12/2026

We love and appreciate the incredible clothing donations our community gives to Interfaith! 🙌 But today, we need to talk about a frequently overlooked essential: men's underwear.

Right now, our Free Clothing Boutique is running low. We urgently need ⭐new, unopened packs of men's underwear (boxers or briefs, all sizes)⭐.

Having clean underwear is vital for basic health, hygiene, and personal self-esteem. It’s a small thing that makes a massive impact on someone’s day-to-day dignity.

Can you help us restock?
📍 Drop off at: 450 NW 2nd Street, Ocala FL 34475
🕒 Times: Monday - Friday 9am - 4pm

An extra pack added to your next shopping trip means the world to a neighbor in need. Thank you for your generosity!

Yesterday we celebrated the ribbon cutting of Le’Shell’s Cafe, a business built from heart, heritage, and the strength of family. This milestone is more than a grand opening: it’s a tribute to parents whose love continues to guide the journey.

Congratulations to the entire Le’Shells Café family. May this new beginning be filled with prosperity, purpose, and unforgettable moments.

What an inspiring day at Lowell 2.0, hosted by Young Leaders of Ocala at the Ocala Metro Chamber and Economic Partnership . This event was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community invests in workforce readiness, second chances, and human potential.

Hearing from leaders like James Hill, Edwin Vousden, and the Young Leaders team underscored the incredible work being done to break long‑standing stigmas around past mistakes. Their message was clear: a person’s history doesn’t have to define their future. With the right support, training, and belief, individuals can rebuild, re‑enter the workforce, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Grateful to everyone who showed up, shared their stories, and continues to champion this work in Ocala and beyond. Progress like this strengthens our workforce, our families, and our community as a whole.
