At Angel’s Appraisals, we believe our work goes far beyond property valuation. We measure value in people, in service, and in impact. That’s why giving back to our community isn’t just something we do—it’s part of who we are.
One of the most meaningful ways we serve is through our deep involvement with Compassion Advocacy Network (CAN), a Virginia-based nonprofit dedicated to restoring dignity and connection to elderly individuals who are often forgotten. Whether it’s through their CAN Help Bags or one-on-one visits with isolated seniors, CAN is on a mission to ensure that no one ages alone or unloved.
Our founder and lead appraiser, Angel Groce, is not only a longtime supporter of this organization—she also proudly serves on the board. Her leadership, strategic mindset, and heart for service make her a driving force behind one of CAN’s largest initiatives: the Annual “Adopt Someone Forgotten” Golf Tournament. This powerful event raises crucial funds to support CAN’s year-round programming and reminds the community that business and compassion can—and should—go hand in hand.

You may ask, why does an appraisal company devote so much energy to a nonprofit that serves the elderly?
Because community engagement builds stronger businesses.
According to research by Harvard Business Review, companies that support social causes experience higher employee satisfaction, increased customer loyalty, and stronger reputations in their industries. (Source)
For Angel’s Appraisals, giving back has also led to new partnerships, increased visibility, and deeper roots in the Hampton Roads region. Clients appreciate knowing their dollars are also supporting a mission, and vendors are more likely to partner with a business that shows up for its community.
Angel’s involvement with CAN isn’t just professional—it’s personal. She has witnessed firsthand how small gestures of care—like a birthday balloon bouquet or a warm meal—can light up a room and restore someone’s dignity.
Serving with CAN reminds our team of the “why” behind the work: every appraisal we complete helps families make informed decisions about their properties—but more importantly, every hour Angel spends serving with CAN helps families know they’re not forgotten.
If you’re a local business owner, we encourage you to ask: What can we do to make a difference?
Whether it’s volunteering your time, offering your services pro bono, or sponsoring events like the CAN Golf Tournament, your business can be a vehicle for good. And when you serve with integrity, the community takes notice.
