On Nov. 12, 1965, the Community Assistance Network (CAN) was born to serve those in the community in need. Six decades later, CAN is as strong as ever."Doing anything for 60 years, I think that's really worth celebrating," CAN Interim CEO Mitch Posner said. "Running a not-for-profit organization takes a lot of contributions of time, talent and treasure."While CAN is located in Dundalk at 7900 E. Baltimore St., it serves all of Baltimore County. There has historically been the greatest concentration of people who need the kinds of support that CAN offers on the east side of the county, Posner said.Four years ago, CAN doubled down on its investment in the community, anchoring itself through renovations and an expansion that totaled an investment of more than $1 million."We're here to stay for a while now," Posner said.'They give people hope'In 1964, President Lyndon B.

Nearby: Baltimore, MDOn November 1, 1864, Maryland ended slavery by its own hand. The Emancipation Proclamation had passed over the state because it applied only to Confederate territory and Maryland was a Union state. It took a new state constitution, narrowly approved with the help of soldiers’ ballots, to free roughly 87,000 enslaved Marylanders. Some of the freed people celebrated that day. Many others had to build a life from nothing. I think about those people when I’m standing over a stove. I grew up in Baltimore watching my grandmother cook from scratch in a small kitchen. I learned there that quality ingredients are the foundation of great food. Over a career of more than 35 years, I have added a second lesson to the first: ingredients carry history too. I’ve said many times before that moving forward requires reaching back, and that you have to know your history before you can go on. Enslaved cooks in Maryland worked with what they were handed and what they could secretly grow.
