The Community Assistance Network (CAN) in Williamsburg, VA, is dedicated to aiding individuals and families in overcoming life’s challenges by providing essential support services. As a collaborative initiative backed by United Way, CAN connects residents across Williamsburg, James City County, New Kent, Gloucester County, Mathews County, York County, Hampton, Newport News, and Poquoson with crucial resources to promote stability and self-sufficiency. Our comprehensive programs include emergency utility assistance, rent assistance, eviction prevention, and referrals for basic necessities such as food, clothing, and hygiene products. We also offer advocacy and self-sufficiency screenings to equip our neighbors with the tools they need to thrive. All services are provided at no cost, ensuring that those in need can access vital support without barriers. We encourage individuals to reach out for more details on how to utilize these resources, as availability may vary by day and location.
