Where Black Queens Builds Together.
BlaQue Community Cares is one of the leading forces strengthening Black communities and Black-owned businesses in Queens. We build programs, support systems, and community connections that make it easier for people to grow and stay rooted here. Our work reaches youth, adults, families, and the entrepreneurs who keep this borough moving.
BCC was created out of the BlaQue Resource Network, a space where tens of thousands of Black residents shared their needs, their wins, and their everyday challenges. That energy shaped this work. People asked for access, guidance, and a community that responds when it matters. BCC was built to answer that call and turn community demand into community action.

Voices of Empowerment
I came to the Cash Mob and couldn’t believe how many people were there. Seeing a local spot that full made me realize how much a turnout like that can help a business.
Tiffany Johnson
I've been a teacher for 35 years. When they honored me at the Educators Brunch, it sat with me. I’m always focused on the work, not the attention, so being recognized like that meant more than I expected. Thank you BlaQue.
Marcia Thompson
Since BlaQue came around, I’ve noticed people connecting again. Folks are talking, meeting up, supporting the spots around here. We needed this.
