The Riverside County Black Chamber of Commerce, based in Riverside, California, acts as a civic and social organization focused on advancing economic development for African American and other minority communities in the county. Its mission includes engaging military veterans and aims to increase the number and success of minority-owned businesses by linking them to resources and opportunities that encourage capital flow within the community. The group offers workshops, training, seminars, mixers, and information dissemination to support business owners and individuals pursuing economic empowerment. It pursues a mix of traditional and innovative strategies to address barriers such as access to capital and capacity building, with an emphasis on job creation and contracting opportunities. In December 2020, the City of Perris partnered with the chamber on a local food drive, illustrating collaboration with municipal and community partners in the region.
