Community Assistance Network (CAN) has operated in Baltimore County for nearly sixty years, focusing on addressing and eradicating poverty in our communities. Since the pandemic and resultant economic effects, CAN has been uniquely positioned to provide additional needed support for struggling families, particularly in Essex.
