OUR VISION
“Empowering The Community To Overcome Barriers”
(Breaking Barriers. Building Futures.)
OUR MISSION
OCDC supports African Canadians and other immigrants with programs in integration, education, health, housing, and economic development, including a Food Pantry that delivers nutritious, culturally relevant food to reduce food insecurity and build community.
WHAT IS OCDC?
OCDC is a bilingual non-profit organization founded with the mission of impacting the lives of immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean. The organization has been working to provide educational, social, youth, and senior services to BIPOC residents of the Peel Region and GTA at large.
OCDC offers services in both English and French that address the integration, education, health, shelter, and economic development of African immigrants in Canada through programs, services and advocacy.
Through our work and the support of our volunteers, OCDC has been able to expand its services and the population in which we serve. The organization continues to expand its reach and meet the needs of our community. Our dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion is vital to empowering our community to reach new heights.
