As the year draws to a close, The BLACK Collaborative Inc., along with the Center of EDEN Hub for Access to Care and the Community Care Closet, would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to everyone we have had the privilege to serve. This season offers a moment to reflect on the past year’s achievements and challenges, and to look forward with hope and determination. We wish you a happy, safe, and equitable holiday season filled with warmth and joy.

Reflecting on a Year of Service and Growth
This year has been remarkable for The BLACK Collaborative Inc. and our partners. Together, we have worked tirelessly to provide access to care and essential resources for families in our community. The Community Care Closet has been a vital part of this effort, offering clothing, supplies, and support to those in need.
Our team has been inspired by the resilience and strength of the families we serve. Each referral and application we received reminded us of the importance of community and the power of collective care. We are grateful for the trust placed in us and for the opportunity to make a positive impact.
Community Care Closet Update
As we prepare for the new year, we want to inform you about the scheduling for the Community Care Closet. While we will continue to accept referrals and applications during the holiday season, scheduling appointments will pause and resume after the new year in 2026. This pause allows our team to recharge and plan for an even more effective year ahead.
If you or someone you know needs support, please do not hesitate to apply. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need, and we will follow up with appointments as soon as scheduling reopens.
Celebrating the Spirit of the Season
The holiday season is a time for connection, generosity, and hope. It reminds us that despite challenges, we can come together to build a stronger, more caring community. Whether through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading kindness, every action counts.
We encourage everyone to take a moment to appreciate the small joys and to reach out to neighbors and friends who may need extra support. Together, we can create a season that is truly joyful and inclusive for all.

Looking Ahead to 2026
The coming year holds great promise. We plan to expand our programs and deepen our partnerships to better serve families and individuals. Our focus remains on creating equitable access to care and resources, ensuring no one is left behind.
We invite you to stay connected with us through our website and community events. Your involvement and feedback help shape our work and strengthen our impact.
A Message of Thanks and Warm Wishes
Thank you for being part of this journey with The BLACK Collaborative Inc., the Center of EDEN Hub for Access to Care, and the Community Care Closet. Your support, referrals, and trust inspire us every day.
May your holiday season be filled with peace, safety, and happiness. We look forward to continuing to serve you and your families in 2026 and beyond.
Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!
