QUEENS
Queens United to Elevate & Empower the Next
Sister Incorporated
Started by Evelyn Bacon on February 24, 2007, "Queens" felt like a divine order from God. Bacon wanted to provide a safe space for African American women to share and let their guard down. She felt called to help women know their worth, to influence community involvement, and to work to help them get on their feet. The program started with Queens, then from there came Queens in Training. QIT helps young girls to build their self esteem. Throughout the year, there are workshops where women from the community come and tell their stories.

ABLE is a mixed group of community organizations and volunteers. Together, they do different events to help equip the community. Different fundraisers are held throughout the year. Please check the "Events" page to see what is coming up!
