The Tri-County Opportunities Council (TCOC), Community Action Agency, was organized and incorporated in 1965 by a group of interested citizens from Lee, Ogle and Whiteside counties for the purposes of investigating the frequency, location, character and cause of poverty; and coordinating efforts to prevent, alleviate and eliminate poverty through the cooperation of public agencies, private organizations, business, industry and interested individuals.

Our Vision:

To strengthen and enable income-eligible people to become self-sufficient through the attaining of necessary skills, knowledge, motivations and opportunities.
To encourage participation of income-eligible people in the planning, development and implementation of programs and projects and in the decision-making processes of governmental entities affecting their lives.
To better organize a wide range of services related to the needs of income-eligible people in Bureau, Carroll, LaSalle, Lee, Marshall, Ogle, Putnam, Stark and Whiteside Counties by utilization of innovative approaches and new types of services in attacking the causes of poverty, including the support of self-help groups and cooperative efforts of income-eligible people.
To strengthen the capabilities of the CAA's community for planning and coordinating federal, state, local and private assistance related to the elimination of poverty by broadening the resource base of programs to include public officials, private organizations, individuals, business and industry.
