Center of Eden
A Vision for Holistic Maternal–Infant Healing
The Center of Eden is envisioned as a sanctuary for maternal–infant health equity. It represents a future brick-and-mortar hub where clinical care, cultural humility, and community healing come together. This space will honor heritage while advancing health innovation—offering wraparound services designed to nurture families from pregnancy through early parenthood.
Community Care Closet Hub
Because every baby deserves essentials, comfort, and care.
The BLACK Collaborative Inc. – Newborn Care & Community Closet at The CENTER of EDEN
“Every newborn deserves a strong start.”
The BLACK Collaborative Inc. proudly presents the Newborn Care & Community Closet, a compassionate initiative located at The Center of Eden. This community-driven resource provides free newborn care and clothing items to families in need, to promote health, dignity, and equity for every child from birth. Through this program, families can access essential items, including infant clothing, diapers, wipes, baby hygiene products, grooming kits, and breastfeeding supplies—all at no cost. We are committed to supporting new parents during the beautiful but often challenging postpartum journey.
Support. Stability. Care—Rooted in Community.
The Community Care Closet Hub is a community-based support program serving pregnant and parenting families by providing essential supplies, education, and care navigation. We exist to reduce stress, close gaps in access, and ensure families are supported with dignity—without judgment or shame.
Our services are coordinated by trained Community Health Workers who walk alongside families, help them navigate resources, and connect them to additional support when needed.
