Community Access Naperville

CAN is honored to share that we’ve been selected as a 2026 winner for the Chicago market! 💚💙

This recognition means so much to us. Every day, we work to create spaces where people feel connected, supported, and uplifted, and being chosen for this grant affirms the heart behind that mission. It reflects the stories, the relationships, and the moments of impact that happen quietly and consistently across our community. We are grateful to NBCUniversal for believing in our work and to everyone who shows up with us, day after day, to make a difference.

Support CAN by grabbing your early-bird tickets for our upcoming fundraiser on October 8th! 🎟️💚
Every ticket helps power moments like this: earlier this week, our group spent the morning volunteering at the DuPage Children's Museum, where they packaged 115 STEM kits for local kids. Afterward, they headed out to soak up the sunshine and explore Knoch Knolls Park!
Every day, our friends give back to and enjoy the community we love. 💚

Our friends had a fantastic time exploring The Museums at Lisle Station Park 🚂✨ From stepping inside the historic 1874 Depot to learning all about local train history and pioneer life, there was so much to discover around every corner.

Outings like this are such a fun way for our group to connect with local history, explore the surrounding community, and create great memories together. A huge thank you to Lisle Station Park for hosting a wonderful day!
