Ten West Market, a small family-owned business, has been a cherished part of our community since Darlene and her staff moved to Holden from Paxton in November 2024. In just a short time, they became a beloved staple in the neighborhood, always greeting customers with warmth and providing a welcoming space for everyone. Their dedication and hard work have made them a great addition to our town, and many of us have come to rely on their friendly service and quality offerings.

Tragically, in the early morning hours of December 30th, Ten West Market suffered a devastating fire that resulted in a total loss of the store. The impact of this event has been heartbreaking, not only for Darlene and her team but for the entire community that has grown to love and support them. The staff, who poured their hearts into making the market a success, are now out of work and facing uncertainty as they try to recover from this loss.

We are coming together to raise funds to help rebuild Ten West Market and support the dedicated staff during this difficult time. Your donation will go directly toward restoring the store and helping the employees pay their bills while they get back on their feet. Please consider contributing and sharing this fundraiser to help bring back a business that means so much to our town. Every bit of support counts, and together, we can make a difference for Darlene, her staff, and the future of Ten West Market.
