The Community Outreach Center is Rockland County’s central hub for assistance with virtually all matters relating to government programs, utilities, housing, healthcare coverage, passports, documentation and municipal interactions.

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.

An organization’s success and effectiveness are directly dependent on the quality of its operational staff. Our knowledgeable and experienced team members are thoroughly familiar and experienced with the intricate details of government programs, health and social services, community organizations and many other resources. Over the years they have interacted on a daily basis with government agencies, utility companies and other social service departments, earning their confidence and respect while forging excellent working relationships. COC staff members are carefully selected not only for their technical skills but also for their qualities of empathy and compassion. They treat each client with courtesy, dignity and genuine concern.
