Welcome to Philadelphia OIC, Inc.

In 2008-2009, OIC
served 1145 individuals.

In order to build upon our history and our current successes, the Board of Directors has embarked upon a 3 Year Strategic Plan. It is our collective belief that if we don't grow as an organization, then we render ourselves "irrelevant".

One of the key elements of that growth is our goal to become the primary training provider for the gaming industry/slot machine licensees. We view this as a logical expansion of our very successful Hospitality Training Institute. This industry will create hundreds of jobs for Philadelphians and the preparation for those jobs is consistent with OIC's historical and contemporary focus and operational mandate.

OIC has not maintained its effective institutional presence in Philadelphia without the ongoing support of local businesses, churches, other CBOs and the community-at-Large. We want this to continue as we collectively invest in improving the quality of life for those less fortunate.

Thank you for your continuing support.

Very Sincerely,



Percy P. Davis, Chairman, OIC Board of Directors	Robert C. Nelson, President & CEO

OIC wins
“Best Restaurant”
Award at the 2010 Red Ball Event

Philadelphia OIC’s Chef Instructor Chalie Schmidt with his team of Culinary protégés accepts the trophy as the Best Restaurant at the 2010 Red Ball. While the 2010 Event was the tenth annual fund raising event for the American Red Cross it was the first time that the nearly 1200 attendees were able to vote for the best dish in the show.

OIC’s Scallops Bellini with Truffle Cream was the runaway winner from about 35 dishes prepared by various restaurants and caterers in the Philadelphia area. The OIC Culinary Team was comprised of Josiah Harris, Charles Crummy, Roger Hoyte, Terrell Harmon, and Gary Earle and managed by Chef Schmidt.

While the winning dish was inspired by the famous Italian peach and proseco cocktail it was the students eye to detail in cooking the scallops to order that set the dish apart from the very worthy competition.
