Black Box-Oakland- Final Round

Black Boxes are the perfect gift for yourself, or a loved one. You can buy a box to share with  someone, or you can buy a box and give away individual items (get a headstart on holiday gift shopping). Black Boxes can be offered as swag to your work team, or as a token of appreciation to clients or special guests for an event you are hosting.

After 2.5 Rounds, we’ve learned so much about what it takes and costs to gather items from small Black owned businesses and share them with our community. This volunteer-run project has been a major labor of love, and we are honored to have embarked on this journey with you and the amazing Black Box-Oakland vendors. 

We know that EVERY day is a GOOD day to patronize a Black-owned business and Everybody deserves the opportunity to love Black Businesses, and we are happy to have supported in our little way.

In beauty and power,

Black-Box Oakland Collective
