The Open Door Clubhouse Celebrates the Holidays Together

The holiday season is always a special time at the Open Door Clubhouse, but this year’s celebration shone especially brightly. Members and staff came together to share joy, laughter, and community—reminding everyone why the Clubhouse model is such a powerful source of connection and hope.

Rooted in the belief that every person deserves a place to belong, the Open Door Clubhouse once again transformed the season into an opportunity to strengthen relationships, celebrate accomplishments, and create new memories. For many members, the Clubhouse is not only a support system—it is a second home. The holiday festivities brought that feeling to life.

The day began with members and staff working side by side to prepare the clubhouse for the celebration. Tables were decorated with festive centerpieces, and the comforting smell of home cooked food filled the building. Members took leadership roles in planning the event—developing the menu, handling setup and logistics, and coordinating activities.
This collaborative spirit is what defines the Clubhouse: members are not merely guests but equal partners in shaping their community.

The holiday meal was the centerpiece of the celebration. For members who often experience isolation, stigma, or difficult circumstances, moments like these can be profoundly meaningful. Warm conversation and genuine connection created an atmosphere where everyone felt seen and valued.

What made the celebration extraordinary was not the decorations or the presents, but the sense of belonging that permeated the space. The holidays can be challenging for many, but at the Open Door Clubhouse, no one must navigate them alone.

As the celebration ended, members expressed gratitude for the support the Clubhouse provides year round. The holiday gathering was a reminder that recovery and well being flourish in community—where people are empowered, included, and supported.

As the year comes to a close—and as we reflect on COMHAR’s 50th Anniversary—I want to start by saying thank you. This milestone year gave us the opportunity to pause, look back, and celebrate five decades of showing up for individuals, families, and communities. In a season where so much is being asked of so many, your generosity, time, and belief in our work mean more than words can capture.
Attached, you’ll find a scrapbook of our 50th Anniversary highlights—a reflection of the moments, people, and partnerships that made this year so special. Each page tells a story of care, connection, and community, and reminds us that this work has always been powered by those who believe in our mission.
As we close out the year, we’re being gentle with our ask because we know how deeply you care about this work. If you’re able, and if making a year-end, tax-deductible gift feels right for you, we invite you to donate today.
Your support helps us provide meals for families, host our community wellness fair and food giveaway, support unhoused individuals with critical services, offset the cost of providing mental health services in Kensington and surrounding communities, and bring moments of joy to children across our partner schools.
Thank you for being part of our story—past, present, and future. From all of us at COMHAR, we wish you a warm and hopeful New Year.
Trapeta B. Mayson, CEO

Meet Desiree – Newest Member of Peer Government

Peer Government is a group of members who volunteer to actively participate in decisions about how their home is managed. They play an important role in shaping the program by:

🌟 Participating in the hiring process, including asking questions of potential employees
🌟 Providing input on food menus
🌟 Nominating staff for recognition
🌟 Suggesting changes or new initiatives

For example, when members expressed a desire for more family time, leadership implemented home visits, allowing members to spend 2–3 hours at their family homes under staff supervision.

This program ensures that members’ voices are heard at the management level and empowers them to advocate for themselves and their peers.

Thank you, Desiree, for making a difference!
