Community Assistance Network is a private, nonprofit community action agency based in Baltimore, Maryland, focused on addressing local needs through programs that support individuals and families. Its origins trace to federal War on Poverty initiatives enacted in 1964, and the organization has operated for decades to serve its community. The agency is governed by a tripartite board that includes government officials, private citizens, and low-income representatives to ensure broad participation in governance. As part of a wider network of community action agencies, CAN is a member of the Maryland Community Action Partnership and the National Community Action Partnership. Recent local activity highlights CAN's ongoing community engagement, including a collaboration with the Baltimore County Fire Department for a holiday donation drive called 'Christmas in CANland'.
