Welcome to CPAN

The Renfrew County Community Poverty Action Network

We are on a mission to reduce and relieve poverty in Renfrew County through coordinated collaboration informed by local insights and actioned by a caring network of people. 

 

Our values are simple and action-oriented.

We freely share and invite connection with resources, people, and information. We show that we care because we do and everyone matters. We do our best to offer individualized moments of help and helping that are easy to access. We strive to provide education and advocacy as accomplices in anti-oppression work. 

At CPAN, we do this work by mobilizing programs and people in four key areas of focus:

Distribution of relief programs

Tools for School (school supplies and footwear) and Operation Snowsuit (warm winter gear and boots)

Connection between local people

The Village, our Give Help, Get Help network enables small moments of helping to take place when it is needed off-program

Community learning and sharing

Presentations, workshops, training and community consultations that help people learn that ending poverty requires a community response

Collaboration and strategic action

Working with key partners who are resourceful, values-driven and are also accomplices to anti-oppressive work

Quick Links

CPAN brings people together to make sure every child and family in Renfrew County has what they need to thrive. From school supplies and winter gear to everyday moments of neighbour‑to‑neighbour support, our programs connect resources, compassion, and community action.

CPAN’s New Network: THE VILLAGE

We have created an ultra-simple system for anyone who believes in the “village way” of community development - that we already have it all and everyone is needed to make it work. 

Think of it like this - if everyone willing to help or needing help is like a star in the sky, CPAN’s network is like bringing them into shape, like the big dipper, connecting the dots to bring light to all unique arrangements of diverse people experiencing life differently. 

By joining The Village you will simply be made aware of the smallest needs as they come forward to us. It might be to help fund a field trip, school lunch, make a friendship call to another parent, or donate a stroller - anything small that can be done to help. You can choose to respond or pass. 

We couldn't have done it without you!

Thanks to the amazing community here in Renfrew County, the Community Poverty Action Network has been blessed to have helped so many youth in need.

We couldn't have done it without you!
