About Us

Oakwood Community Center’s (OCC) vision is to bring people together through food, art and culture. We use these elements to create the opportunity for relationships between neighbors, artists and local organizations. As caretakers of the historic Oakwood building in the Hillside North neighborhood, we tend to the space and our community, opening the doors to  a nourishing and creative environment for all. Our Food Pantry and Free Store operate every Saturday. We offer free or low cost meeting/event space for neighbors and small groups to support individuals who want to develop programming targeted to our neighborhood, but may need help with space, resources or organizational development skills. OCC is building its performing arts education to performance pipeline with Oakwood Techniques, now in its sixth year of working with youth to develop a lifelong passion for the performing arts. We offer artistic and cultural programming ranging from movie nights to art workshops to musical and dance performances. 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 values.
