About Us
At Oakwood Community Center, we envision a city where strangers become neighbors, and neighbors join together for the common good.
Our mission is to bring neighbors together and build bridges among grassroots organizations in the city of Troy, New York. We do this by maintaining the historic Oakwood building as a welcoming and nourishing space.
We maintain our historic building in order to:
- make the Food Pantry at Oakwood available every Saturday;
- provide free or low cost meeting and event space for neighbors and small groups;
- to support individuals who want to develop programming that focuses resources in our neighborhood and would like help with space, resources or organizational development skills.
OCC relies on donations from supporters, grants from local foundations and rental income from organizations who rent out space in our building and share our worldview.
Most of all, volunteers are at the core of all we do!
