Giving Tuesday may have passed, but the opportunity to make a meaningful impact is still here.

We didn’t get a chance to share our Giving Tuesday message yesterday, but the heart of the day remains the same: supporting a mission that changes lives. And truly, Giving Tuesday is just the kick-off to a season of year-end generosity that sustains nonprofits like ours year-round.

At Ebony Horsewomen Equestrian & Therapeutic Center, your support strengthens our equine-assisted therapy programs, empowers our youth, and ensures the continued growth of mission-driven community spaces like the Mary Fields Horse & Heritage Museum and Black Boots Venue Rentals. These initiatives help us preserve culture, educate, and provide safe, healing spaces rooted in the transformative power of horses.

If you’d still like to give this week, we would be incredibly grateful. Your generosity fuels the work, the healing, and the hope. Click the link to support: https://ehw.networkforgood.com/projects/266323-giving-tuesday-campaign-2025. 💛

In honor of Veterans Day, we’re celebrating the healing power of equine-assisted therapy and equine-assisted psychotherapy, and how horses help veterans rebuild trust, cope with trauma, find calm, and reclaim confidence.

Every veteran deserves support, wellness, and community.

This past Sunday was all heart. Swipe to see more moments from the “Donate and Get a Plate!” event hosted by at Ebony Horsewomen Equestrian and Therapeutic Center, where people gave generously and ate well. ✨🖤

11/04/2025

This past Sunday, the community showed up in a powerful way at Ebony Horsewomen Equestrian and Therapeutic Center for the “Donate and Get a Plate” event hosted by Chef Jay, and the energy was incredible.

We were honored to welcome Senator Richard Blumenthal and Congressman John Larson, who stopped in to support the mission of community leaders, volunteers, religious leaders, and local nonprofits teaming up to feed families during an uncertain time. Instead of purchasing a plate, guests were encouraged to show their support by donating canned goods, winter clothing, socks, shoes, personal hygiene items, baby supplies, and other essentials — all in exchange for a delicious meal prepared by Chef Jay.

Real people. Real support. Real impact. 🖤✨
