Big corporations have changed the way people shop, hire, and connect — but local businesses are still the heart of every community.

UNITE was created to help customers discover, support and engage with local businesses  in a fun and meaningful ways. 

 Through Local Business Passports, Community Bingo Challenges, Night Out Guides, and Local Business Spotlights, we're helping residents explore their hometown while helping small businesses reach new customers.

This is more than a directory.

It's a community movement that encourages people to shop local, meet local business owners, and create stronger connections throughout Ocala and Marion County.

Every passport completed, bingo card played, and local purchase made helps strengthen the businesses that make our community unique.

Together, we're building a stronger local economy—one connection at a time.
