About US

IMG_9941.jpg

Coptic Orthodox Charities, Inc.'s, also known as C.O.C, mission is to serve minority groups who are economically or physically disadvantaged by promoting and fostering health, strengthening families through education, alleviating poverty and promoting self-sufficiency. 

​

C.O.C works to foster a sense of solidarity and acceptance among ethnic groups, refugees, asylees, new immigrants, abused spouses of US citizens, and victims of human trafficking regardless of age, race, sex, religion, economic condition or country of origin. 

​

The agency achieves its mission by providing legal and social service aid to refugees and asylees who are victims of torture or who unwilling to return to a country of origin due to persecution or well-founded fear of persecution. The Founder is highly skilled with more than 15 years experience in Immigration Law. One-hundred percent of C.O.C's staff is reflective of the population served, which makes them committed to fostering a deeper understanding within our team to better address and respond to our clients' needs.  

​

C.O.C partners and collaborates with Federal, State and Local governments, U.S. Immigration Services, businesses, social service agencies and healthcare providers to provide help to the under-served population with immigration law services, social services, translation, employment, and access to healthcare services. C.O.C is helping to promote community development by providing the target population to assimilate in the United States and how to live the American Dream.

​

Coptic Orthodox Charities, Inc. (C.O.C) is a community-based organization that has been in existence since 2001.
