Fueling Good

Fueling Good. Giving Back.

From the start, Black Rock has been about more than coffee. We’re about people. We care deeply about the communities we serve, whether that’s through local fundraising, in-store Give Back Days, or partnerships with causes close to our hearts.

Give Back Days, Fundraisers, & Cambro Donations.

Give Back Days

We partner with local organizations and individuals to host in-store Give Back Days, where a portion of drink sales go directly to a cause or family in our community. It’s a direct way to sip and support something meaningful.

Fundraisers

From youth sports teams to school clubs to local nonprofits... we’re here to help you raise funds that make a real difference.

Cambro Donations

Need coffee for a community event, teacher appreciation, or first responder visit? Drop by your local Black Rock to fill out a request form to see if we can support your community event.

Autism Speaks

We’re proud to support Autism Speaks and look forward to hosting a company-wide Give Back Day in 2026 to contribute to their meaningful work. In the meantime, we remain committed to raising awareness and fostering inclusion in our communities.

Brew Buddies

Brew Buddies is a job-training program hosted at select Black Rock Coffee Bar locations. We partner with local high schools to give special education students the chance to learn how to be a barista in a supportive, hands-on environment-- like greeting guests and helping make drinks. It’s an impactful way to build confidence, connection, and real-world skills.

Want your school to participate in Brew Buddies? Visit your local Black Rock and ask a team member about our partnership form. We’d love to connect!
