Sonoma CAN is opening its doors and inviting the community to come inside, meet the people behind the work, and see firsthand how families and children are supported across Sonoma County.

The Sonoma CAN Community Open House will take place on Wednesday, February 26, from 4:30 to 7:00 PM, welcoming guests in person at Sonoma CAN’s Santa Rosa facility, located at 2250 Northpoint Parkway, Santa Rosa, CA 95407.
