You may have noticed some exciting positive changes at Provision Community Care Closet. This post is long overdue, but we want to officially recognize and welcome our Care Closet Coordinators.

About four months ago, Linda Cooper and Laura Baxter stepped into leadership roles coordinating the day-to-day operations of the care closet. Since then, they have worked incredibly hard sorting and organizing donations, reopening for public shopping days, responding to emergency needs, answering questions, receiving donations, and helping ensure resources continue reaching families in our community.

Linda and Laura also played a major role in helping get the School Street location up and running back in 2023, pictured here during one of the many work days that helped bring the space to life. Their dedication, compassion, and servant hearts have made a real difference, and our community is better because of their willingness to serve. We are deeply grateful for the countless hours they have poured into this work and for the care they show to others every single day.

Linda and Laura are the primary contacts for Care Closet needs, questions, donations, and emergency requests.

📞 Contact Numbers:
Linda: (870) 329-0747
Laura: (870) 250-2168

Thank you, Lemonwood Missionary Baptist Church!

Yesterday, Luther and Virginia Drye delivered six brand new coats to the Jefferson County Foster Care Coalition’s care closet, and we are so grateful 🥳🥳🥳

These coats will go directly to children and families who need them, and the generosity that got them here matters more than most people realize.

I want to share a little bit of backstory, because this is what community looks like: simple connections, shared purpose, people talking to people.

Mr. and Mrs. Drye learned about us through a conversation at First Baptist Church while dropping off food for the White Hall Food Pantry. Word of mouth and friendly referrals are how much of this work happens, and we’re thankful for every connection.

If you’re reading this, thank you for being part of our community. We’re glad you’re here 💙

Today was Christmas magic.

Not the kind that comes from perfect movies or matching pajamas, but the kind that shows up when people care for one another in real, practical ways. Through the Toy Swap, more than 45 kids will have gifts under the tree this year. Gifts their families chose with care, without pressure, and without having to sacrifice something else to make it happen. From newborns to teens, we had something for everyone, because of YOU.

Your generosity is what makes this possible and we are immensely grateful. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and everyone who walked through our doors today. You helped make room for hope and for the kind of Christmas magic that lasts longer than the season.
