About Us
Vision
The vision of Together We Can Community Resource Center Inc. is to create a community center with culturally sensitive programs to meet the needs of the resource-deprived and multi-ethnic families of three towns in Queens, New York— Jackson Heights, Corona, and Elmhurst.
Mission
Together We Can empowers New York Residents by linking them to community resources and providing educational opportunities.
Volunteers
As a community resource center and NPO, our volunteers are at the center of everything we do! Without them, we would cease to exist. If you’re interested in keeping our vision alive, please click here to become a volunteer.

Bi-Monthly Coalition
Together We Can have established a bi-monthly community coalition that is held at the current location, the WellCare Welcome room, which is located at 91-08 Roosevelt Ave, Queens, NY 11373.
The purpose of the coalition is to build our community resource base, to partner with new organizations, and to learn about existing organizations offering resources in the community. To view our upcoming events, click here.
Community Resource and Referral Program
Together We Can also offer resources and support services to families in the community.
We refer community residents to community resources such as:
- Counseling, food pantries, job assistance, and more.
- We offer the following language services: Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Spanish.
Together We Can is seeking other sponsors to help us raise money to feed families in Corona, Queens who are faced with food insecurity. All of the money we raise goes toward our program expenses. #CovidRelief #fundraising
