TThe Resource Center

For most people, navigating the complex systems that administer the essentials of day-to-day life can be overwhelming. COC was founded in 1997 as a small-scale altruistic endeavor to help community members by addressing this need. Its humble beginnings notwithstanding, the organization has since metamorphosed into a professional and highly skilled resource center that has earned the respect and appreciation of government officials, lay leaders and thousands of community members.
