Hello ,
At WE CAN, community care is at the heart of everything we do. This month, we honor Black History Month by recognizing the strength, leadership, and contributions of Black individuals and communities whose resilience continues to shape a more just future. We are grateful for the opportunity to highlight our partnership with Amplify POC, a fellow nonprofit dedicated to uplifting businesses and communities of color. Together, we are building inclusive opportunities, fostering entrepreneurship, and strengthening our Cape Cod community.
As we close out Lunar New Year festivities, we extend wishes of energy, resilience, and new possibilities to all who welcome the Year of the Fire Horse. As always, we continue to hold space for love as a guiding force in how we show up for one another.
As we celebrate 25 years of WE CAN and the 20th anniversary of A Day of Words, Wit and Wisdom (W3) this year, we’re excited to share that sponsorships are now available for our beloved W3 event, as well as for our 25th anniversary celebration, Women ROCK! The Tent.
If you or someone you know is seeking support, resources, or connection, WE CAN is here. Call 508-430-8111 or visit wecancenter.org to learn more.
