Cana Communities began as De Porres House in 1975 and has continued under the name Cana Communities Inc since 1995. Working in inner Sydney, the organisation has set up overnight shelters and homes. Cana has also recently partnered in a western Sydney farm project. The organisation is mostly run by volunteers, and is solely reliant on donations from the community. Cana Communities receives no government funding, and so is grateful for your support.
