Our Story
Founded in 1965, Valley Opportunity Council (VOC) emerged from President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty initiative. Originally known as the Community and Regional Opportunity Program, VOC has evolved to provide over 30 essential programs aimed at uplifting low- and moderate-income individuals. With a focus on community outreach, VOC has expanded its services from Chicopee and Holyoke to the greater Hampden County area.
