Mission
CAN is a group of volunteers who assist our Cambria and San Simeon neighbors in times of
need. We try to provide essential services on a short term basis during a time of illness,
recuperation or in special circumstances.
Our services are non-professional. We are a non-profit organization with no fees for services.
