Share the Heart This Holiday Season! Together, we're bringing hope home to Ocala families.
Every year, from early November through mid-January, the Community With a Heart Holiday Campaign brings neighbors together to make the season brighter for Ocala families.
Since its beginning, this community tradition has raised nearly $1.9 million and provided help to hundreds of local families — ensuring they have food on the table, a safe place to live, and a reason to smile during the holidays.
This year, your support can make a life-changing difference. Together, we can continue to offer a hand up, not a handout — keeping the spirit of compassion alive in Marion County.
