The POWER of the Village!
Welcome to Village Connect, where we believe in the power of a healthy community and the strength of supporting local businesses. We believe that by supporting our local businesses, we can help them grow and thrive while strengthening our community. Our goal is to provide you with resources, information, and inspiration to help you make conscious choices when it comes to your purchases.
By choosing to support local, we can create a more sustainable and resilient local economy. We believe that we can all grow well together by supporting our neighbors and working towards a shared vision of a thriving community. Join us in this movement to support local, grow well, and make a positive impact on our community.

We believe the time is now.
Daisy Ramirez, an operations professional and resident of the Lake Nona area in Orlando, faced difficulties in finding local businesses when she first relocated to the area with her family. Recognizing the importance of supporting local businesses to strengthen our communities, she founded Village Connect by 3rdArm, Inc. Her goal was to educate residents on the hidden gems available in their hometown. The platform currently showcases over 700 business profiles, resource lists, and local business products, services, deals, events, and booking information. It also allows visitors to interact directly with local businesses. Village Connect by 3rdArm, Inc. not only promotes local businesses but is also a strong advocate for a healthy community overall. Daisy collaborates with local businesses to organize events that foster personal wellness and connections between businesses and community members.
