Compassion Advocacy Network, Inc.

Compassion in action is contagious. When I decided to volunteer for the Compassion Advocacy Network , ( or C. A. N. As it’s often referred as) You see, I didn’t know how true this statement would be or the effect it would have on me.
It started with filling a few boxes and bags for those in need. Not just food, but other items that could be needed or wanted like a notebook, socks or a deck of playing cards. Although this might seem to be something small or insignificant , we see it as a way to build connection and care for our community . Compassion is behind every box every bag, every card, and every member with C.A.N. It often touches those who have been forgotten, overlooked, or dismissed or maybe feel as if they are no longer a valuable part of society.
The incredible people with this Non Profit Organization see everyone through the lens of genuine love and respect and not through race, clothing tags, or pedigree. Their goal is to show others they are still loved, cared for and valued while treating them with the dignity and respect that they deserve.
I am a firm believer of letting your light shine and what better way to do that then to be a light that beams with kindness, hope, unwavering love, and compassion to everyone.
If you are looking to be a volunteer for an organization, that is truly making a difference please join us at Compassion Advocacy Network And you will have your light shining a whole lot brighter too!

This organization provides such a need in the community that others should truly donate to and/or begin to volunteer with! I have participated in donating to them, worked with their founder on many occasions, and have seen the work they do to assist the seniors in the community! They provide such love and care to our seniors without asking anything in return, other than seeing them smile!! Though they may only get a meal, some toiletries, a few gifts here and there, the amount of good they provide to these "forgotten" seniors is tremendous!! I commend this group and they assistance they provide to our seniors!! Please do your part and assist them in any way you can, donating time and/or finances, and you will feel a sense of joy that you haven't felt before!! You will ensure that the "forgotten" seniors will be able to feel they are KNOWN!!

I have had the honor of volunteering with this wonderful organization. As a volunteer I have witnessed true compassion in action in the Hampton Roads area, from providing meals at a low income housing community to delivering and providing food for seniors and low income communities throughout the Hampton Roads area. We are lucky to have such a giving, caring non profit organization in this area

Compassion Advocacy Network help us during our effort to give food to families in need. They donated pallets worth of food to the local community. They are always giving, and looking for an opportunity to help.

This is a non-profit with a heart. The directors really love people and want to help make their lives a little easier and happier. They do a great service to the elderly and their families in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia as well as the Carolinas and Florida. I'm really impressed with all they do for others in need.

I volunteered with CAN in August. I was amazed at how many elderly benefitted from the resources available. They provided not just canned goods, but fresh vegetables, meats, cheeses, pet food, etc. The participates where able to get their fill of what they needed. Even behind the mask the recipients felt the compassion from every volunteer. I am looking forward to volunteering again in October. This is definitely a organization worthy of your donation of money time or both.

CAN is a great organization! Rev. Jonathan and team are so great at helping so many people. They really make a difference in the Hampton Roads area.

CAN is a great organization that helps seniors and other at-risk populations in our community.

CAN is a wonderful and caring org, they have shown so much love to my seniors at Paula Maria Village. During the COVID our seniors have loss the ability to receive free food. CAN adopted us and faithfully donate food every month, to feed our seniors. Thank you so much for the love and support.

This is a Great Group of people who dedicate their time to spread positivity and love across the world. I highly recommend supporting and donating to Compassion Advocacy Network.

CAN is a wonderful organization that supports our local community. They are passionate about helping seniors. They work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of the people that they serve. They are a true blessing to our community.

They are a wonderful nonprofit really working towards helping our seniors and other people that cannot provide for themselves.

This charity is all about the forgotten..We give hope to the isolated elderly andgive then back their dignity through our CAN Help program

Wonderful organization. They really work hard at carrying out their purpose for helping those in need. I have seen them touch so many that struggle. Keep up the good work.

This is a good charity run by two men who have a sincere desire to make a difference in the world. Unsung heros who have build an organization that reflects their character.

A fabulous nonprofit that lives their mission statement daily. They truly are committed to helping better people's lives and work relentlessly to that end.

Fantastic group dedicated to the care and support of its surrounding communities and elders

I am a local business owner in Chesapeake, Va. Observing the efforts of CAN, Inc. is astonishing. Johnathan has helped so many people in the area by either bill assistance, groceries, mentoring or simply being an emotional support system. I have given my financial support to this organization both professionally and personally and will continue in the future.

I started a business but lost everything all in the same month. I did not know how I was going to eat let along run a business. Welp god sent me C.A.N. and they made sure me and my kids had food to eat and they also connected me with ways to continuously feed my children. There is no way to repay all that has been given.

Rev. Stanley is by far one of the most kind, loving and caring human being I have ever had the pure pleasure of meeting. I'm currently going through some tuff life issues right now and Rev. Stanley has been by my side giving me strong guidance and support. I am deeply moved by his compassion and love of others around him. I am proud to say Johnathan is my friend. Thank you Rev. Stanley and keep up this great mission. Once all is said and done with me here at current situation I promise you I will NOT forget the love and concern you have shown to me.

I assisted with an outreach and was thouroughly amazed by the efficiency with which clients were served. In addition, the compassion extended to those who were reached was top notch! I will definitely be volunteering more with them!

This group does a lot for people in its area and beyond.

Compassion Advocacy Network or CAN is such a wonderful non-profit. They give help and hope to our forgotten elderly! Giving food, everyday essentials and love to our elders is the right thing to do! We will all be there someday soon.

I drive the bus that we fill with food and groceries each month and go out in the community to give it out to those in need. It is Compassion on the move.

This charity really cares about people and much of the work they do benefits the elderly. With government benefits and assistance being cut and resources for the elderly scarce, C.A.N. steps in to let them know that they are not alone and forgotten. I am proud to volunteer with Compassion Advocacy Network!

This organization has a tremendous heart for the elderly. There are not many food resources available to the elderly in our communities. Compassion Advocacy Network works hard to connect the elderly with the resources they need.

Great mission, great execution. Serving Hampton Roads for years and truly helping those who are in need.

I've known CAN for a few years now! I am very thankful for what they are doing in my community no matter how great or small they do whatever they can to help each person they meet.

This charity has redefined what means to be compassionate. Best part, the upper management knows how to get their hands dirty too:)

Love this organization. When I needed dire help they said "We C.A.N Help"!! Much appreciation.

This charity is very good to their volunteers. I love working with a team that is organized and with people that love what they are doing. It is in the name "Compassion!" Compassionately is how they treat the people they serve and the volunteers that help them.

Compassion advocacy network is a great charity, they have many great programs that reach out and help many"forgotten" groups of people. Their CAN help bags are a big blessing to those who receive them, and to those who donate towards them.

Compassion Advocacy Network is an amazing organization helping so many people in Hampton Roads in a variety of ways. They somehow stretch the donations and recourses to provide relief and joy to the less fortunate. Whether it is delivering C.A.N Help bags to the elderly and those in need or raising funds for families of kids with cancer, their tireless efforts enrich the lives of so many people. The truly do put Compassion into action!
