Creating inclusive communities, and nurturing dignity, hope, and belonging.
Please support our community.
Cana Communities provides support to those among us who have struggled for acceptance — people experiencing addiction, mental illness, exiting prison, or escaping domestic violence, and who are homeless.
We offer hospitality and care in places where people can come together — to be safe, to be welcomed, to be accepted, and to belong — providing opportunities for lives to be rebuilt.
Our houses.
Providing temporary shelter: Offering short-term or crisis accommodation for at-risk adults without a place to stay.
Our shop.
Farm and home to social enterprise: Product sales create opportunities to work, learn, and develop skills and confidence.
Our volunteers.
Be part of our community: Spend time, offer companionship, cook, or share a meal. There are many ways to contribute.
Cana Communities is a not-for-profit company, governed by a board of directors. Cana is also a charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission.
Farm in Grose Vale, North Richmond.
As the home of our social enterprise, our community is more than just a farm. It is a place where opportunities are created, providing employment for people who have faced tough times or experienced isolation from society.
Offering a supported and unique space to work, learn, and build life skills — companioned by volunteers — the farm nurtures a greater sense of connectedness, belonging, and care within our community, helping individuals begin rebuilding their lives.
