Urbandale Community Action Network
You Can Succeed. Your Community Cares.
At the Urbandale Community Action Network (UCAN), we provide a helping hand for residents in need. Our team is made up of local Urbandale, Iowa residents dedicated to creating a more prosperous community for all of our neighbors–where everyone can access the quality of life they deserve.


Our Vision
UCAN is creating a healthy, engaged, and vibrant Urbandale where all families, students, and elderly residents have the resources they need to flourish.
Our Mission
UCAN brings together Urbandale residents through volunteer and donation opportunities to provide essential school supplies, transportation services, and other resources for residents in need.
What We Value

Genuine Care
We show up for residents with an authentic desire to help and provide the extra support they need. Our community members desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of each resident they interact with.

Community First
We take a broad approach to supporting our community. Through empowering each individual resident to succeed, we work towards our mission of creating a more vibrant community where everyone has access to the resources they need to succeed.

Trustworthy Service
Together with local donors and volunteers, we show up for residents when they need us–whether they need a driver to an appointment or a place to access school supplies and other resources for daily tasks. We build our reputation on being active and present in our community.
