Oxford Community Center (OCC) is located in the lovely waterside village of Oxford on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Oxford Community Center, Inc. (OCC) is a 501(c)(3)nonprofit organization, founded in 1971 by the citizens of Oxford and housed in a gracious old brick schoolhouse they saved from the wrecking ball when it was declared surplus for educational purposes. For over a quarter century, OCC has served as a community resource, offering residents and visitors alike a year-round schedule of social, cultural, and recreational programs and events. Each year, over 8,000 people take part in activities at OCC.
