❤️ Volusia County Donation Drive Supports Venezuela Earthquake Relief

Volusia County residents can help families affected by the devastating June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela by donating essential supplies at several collection sites across the area. The humanitarian drive, organized by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida in partnership with local businesses and volunteers, is collecting new or gently used clothing, diapers, personal hygiene products, first aid supplies, and other basic necessities to assist those impacted by the disaster. Organizers say every donation helps provide hope and much-needed relief to families facing extraordinary hardships.

Donation drop-off locations include:

  • Arepita Beach
    174 N. Beach St., Daytona Beach
    Daily, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.

  • FASTSIGNS – Holly Hill
    1027 N. Nova Road, Suite 109, Holly Hill
    Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

  • Home of Maria Beatriz Añez-Sanchez
    7 Lake Vista Way, Ormond Beach
    Please call 786-234-8839 before dropping off.

Cash donations are not being accepted at the collection sites. Residents wishing to contribute financially can donate through the GlobalGiving Venezuela Earthquake Relief Fund. To volunteer, become a collection center, or obtain additional information, contact Ann McCulloch at 407-754-5493 or visit www.letstalkvenezuela.com.

☕ SunBros Coffee Opens Its New Ormond Beach Drive-Thru

Nearly two years after construction began, SunBros Coffee has officially opened its second location at 14 S. Yonge Street in Ormond Beach. The new drive-thru shop continues a family dream that began more than a decade ago when brothers Travis and Dan Sundell envisioned opening a coffee business together while visiting Austria. Following the unexpected passing of founder Travis Sundell last year, his 21-year-old son, Abrien, has stepped into a leadership role to carry on the family legacy. The compact drive-thru location overcame several development challenges before earning city approval and now serves handcrafted espresso drinks, teas, matcha, frappes, refreshers, and fresh pastries from the family's original Flagler Beach café. The Sundell family hopes the Ormond Beach community will embrace the new location just as Flagler Beach has over the past several years. Learn more by visiting sunbroscafe.com.

Angelic Gardens Brings Over Two Decades of Personalized Wellness to Ormond Beach

In an age where many businesses prioritize efficiency over experience, Angelic Gardens has spent more than 20 years doing the opposite. This full-service day spa on East Granada Boulevard has built its reputation on something increasingly rare: genuinely personalized care delivered in an atmosphere that feels more like home than a clinical treatment facility.

"We are a full-service day spa that offers massage, facials, and body treatments here in Ormond Beach," explains Kerri McDonnell, office coordinator at Angelic Gardens. But what the spa offers goes far beyond the standard menu of services. It's the approach to those services that sets Angelic Gardens apart.

Where Value Meets Expertise

At many spas, premium services come with premium upcharges. Not at Angelic Gardens. Hot stones, deep tissue, aromatherapy, sports massage, cupping, and prenatal massage are all available without additional fees. It's part of the spa's commitment to what McDonald describes as "giving clients more without hidden fees."

"Our therapists and estheticians are more than licensed professionals," McDonald says. "They are intuitive practitioners dedicated to their expertise in creating a personalized experience designed to help our clients feel and look their best." That dedication extends to continuing education, with therapists constantly updating their skills to bring fresh, current modalities to their practice.

The spa also provides something that shouldn't be revolutionary but often is: true hands-on treatment time. Clients receive the full service they book, from start to finish.

A Welcome That Makes a Difference

For many people, visiting a spa for the first time can feel intimidating. Angelic Gardens understands this deeply. McDonnell recalls how new clients often arrive feeling apprehensive about their first spa experience.

"Our staff makes them feel very comfortable by giving them a nice hot cup of tea and sitting them by the fireplace, and explaining what we do here in detail, and making them feel warm and welcome and part of the family," she explains.

This attention to emotional comfort is central to the spa's mission: helping clients relax, reduce stress, ease muscle tension and soreness, and improve mental wellbeing and emotional balance. The atmosphere reinforces this goal at every turn, designed to feel warm, homey, and inviting rather than clinical or impersonal.

Community Favorites and Special Offerings

Among the spa's most popular services are its highly reviewed couples massages, perfect for partners, friends, or mothers and daughters looking to share a relaxing experience together. Whether clients come for massage, facials, or body treatments, the focus remains consistent: customized care that addresses individual needs.

"We are beyond grateful to the Ormond Beach community for their support," McDonald says. To celebrate Angelic Gardens is offering a special promotion: $10 off a 90-minute massage or facial for anyone who mentions this article within the next month.

Experience the Difference

After more than two decades serving the Ormond Beach community, Angelic Gardens has proven that exceptional spa services don't require impersonal atmospheres or nickel-and-dime pricing. Instead, the spa has built lasting relationships through client-focused service, outstanding value, and a genuine commitment to helping people feel and look their best.

Angelic Gardens is located at 115 East Granada Boulevard, Suite 9, Ormond Beach. To book an appointment or learn more about services, call (386) 846-5200 or visit dayspawellness.com. You can also connect with them on Facebook at DaySpaWellness or Instagram at AngelicGardensOrmond.
