HC Opportunity Center

HC Opportunity Center Handi-Crafters Opportunity Center HCOC is one of the largest vocational training and support service providers in Southeastern, PA.

We achieve our goals due to active partnerships with local employers as well as manufacturing contracts with companies all over the world. We support and work alongside our participants who have special needs. We serve individuals with various intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities, persons with mental health diagnoses, and veterans. We also have an Adult Daily Living Center (ADLC) for adults with disabilities or who have retired from the HC Opportunity Center. The ADLC is a fully-supervised, licensed day program. Activities are planned every day, and each participant can enhance their well-being and overall quality of life as they participate. Perfect for respite care during the day.
