No Can Left Behind Project: End of June 2026 Community Impact Update

The No Can Left Behind Project continues to grow thanks to the support of our community, local organizations, sponsors, and partners who believe that food should not only be available — it should be usable.

As of the end of June 2026, the project has received 268 donated can openers and has distributed 196 can openers to help individuals and families who may rely on canned goods but do not have access to the tool needed to open them.

We are also grateful to share that the project has reached 9 organizations served, received support from 6 community sponsors, established 1 donation drop-off site, been featured in 2 newsletters, donated 5 bags of food, and responded to 1 individual request for assistance.

We currently have 73 can openers on hand to continue supporting food pantries, community organizations, service providers, and individuals in need.

The mission remains simple: Access to food starts with the right tools.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, encouraged, partnered, sponsored, or helped spread the word. Together, we are helping make donated food more accessible, practical, and dignified for our neighbors
