We came up with the name Brothers Who Care we started off hosting annual community BBQ’s the event started getting bigger and bigger. We decided to start a Non-For profit Organization, Unfortunately, the name Brothers Who Care was Taken so we changed our name to Brothers Care Inc for the past 20yrs we have been hosting an abundance of free annual ongoing events.

OUR BELIEFS & VALUES – Our Story
This organization originated from a group of individuals that lived and grew up in West Brighton, a Community in S.I. NY that got together and promoted HUGE West Brighton BBQs FREE to the public. The event grew bigger and bigger and we decided to make an organization called Brothers Who Care about awhile we decided to expand and branch out and do more for the West Brighton Community Children, Adults, and Elders. We decided to become a 501(c)3 Non For Profit Organization. Unfortunately, Brothers Who Care was not available because someone had that name, so we Changed to Brothers Care Inc. To this day people still call us Brothers Who Care. We have put smiles on the faces of people of all ages. We try to uplift our community and give children and individuals the opportunities to have and receive things they might be a little less fortunate of obtaining on their own. All of our events are free and open to the public.
