How We Impact the Community

CanDo connects, inspires, and empowers neighbors to take positive action through volunteerism. Our projects are based on a commitment to address unmet community needs. CanDo orchestrates this Give!Guide, which in 12 years has raised $6,180,854 for nonprofits serving our community.

Four of CanDo’s other current projects address food insecurity: Garden for the Food Bank, Food Rescue Team, Napa Valley Food Project, and Gleaning Project. Since 2014, we’ve grown, collected, or gleaned a total of 547,594 pounds of food plus $84,955 in donations! It has all gone directly to the CAN-V Food Bank, or through our partnership with Feeding It Forward Napa Valley, to our neighbors who need it most.

Our Stow It- Don’t Throw It project aims to keep fishing lines out of our beautiful Napa Waterways. Our Neighborhood Reads volunteers keep Little Free Libraries around town stocked with a fresh supply of books for young readers.

The newest project added this year, Pro-Inclusion Napa (PIN), promotes understanding and tolerance throughout our community by developing programs based on our core values of respect, acceptance, and kindness. PIN Positive Poster Project, launched at Browns Valley TK-8 and Valley Oak High School, continues to inspire local youth in classrooms and at community events.

CanDo is an all-volunteer organization with no membership requirements. We stay connected via a weekly eNewsletter that highlights done-in-a-day volunteer opportunities and community events.
