#4: Volunteering! Here at CAN we are always looking for volunteers to give us a helping hand. Just to name a few things you could help us with is: outside on the grounds --I am looking at you green thumbs! The outdoors not your friend --I feel this one during those hot days-- we have plenty of inside tasks that need some attention. Or do you just need some community service hours? We got you covered!

If you are interesting in volunteering at CAN contact Lia at [email protected]!
