We are here for all our neighbors.

The Oak Street Community Center exists to provide the residents of Camp Hill, AL with the opportunity to co-create resilient and life-affirming community with one another through mutual aid programs and public meeting space.

We are a secular program of First Universalist Church of Camp Hill and the Alabama Center for Rural Organizing and Systemic Solutions (ACROSS). While the Church has access to Center spaces and facilities, no funds given to the Center will be used for religious purposes or programming.

No one is turned away from our center on the basis of race, ethnicity, or national origin; socioeconomic status ; disability; biological sex,
gender identity, or gender expression; sexual orientation, reproductive, or relationship status; or political or other religious affiliation.
