Here are some final highlights and announcements as we wrap up the 2021 semester.
We'll see some of you in January and some are moving on to new adventures, but to all of you: Thank You for your commitment to CAN's families through this challenging season!
Highlights
Thanks to all of you and our incredible community partners, all of our community centers had lovely harvest parties and opportunities for families to put a lot of food on their tables. Pictured: Arrowwood Hills distribution, Green Baxter Court buffet, Hikone take-home goodie bags
Groups like Omega Psi Phi (bottom left) are such a blast to partner with!
