When you walk into Continental Gourmet Foods in Gardena and see those gleaming glass doors and spotless display cases, that`s Giancarlo`s work. 💙
Today we celebrate not just his sparkling standards, but his recently completed 9 years of dedication, consistency, and heart. Nine years! Congratulations, Giancarlo. We`re so proud of you! 🌟
📣 Our Raising Cane`s fundraiser is back for round two!

Did we get ya?
A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to host students from @ambassadorchristian_ for their Missions Week and we’re still thinking about the impact they made.
They showed up ready to jump in, build connections, and bring encouragement to every activity. We’re so grateful for each of them and the way they chose to serve our community!
Moments like these are a reminder that volunteering isn’t just about helping, it’s about connection, growth, and being part of something bigger. At ICAN, we have incredible volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups both during the week and on weekends. We’re simply looking for people who are willing to step into a world of empowerment and help inspire and uplift individuals with disabilities.
If that sounds like something you’d want to be part of, visit ICAN.org/volunteer to learn more.

We were so honored to be invited by @carrcub to speak with students at Carr Elementary (@carrcub) during Developmental Disability Awareness Month.
A few of our ICAN friends shared powerful speeches about what developmental disabilities can look like, why inclusion matters, and how we can build a community where everyone is seen, valued, and supported.
We are so proud of Jadon, Riley, and Justine for speaking and grateful for the opportunity to help create more awareness and understanding. Thank you, Carr Elementary, for having us.
You’ve still got time 👀🥡
