We partner with people to support well-being, dignity, & hope
At Community Action Marin, we break down the barriers that get in the way of anyone in our community being able to support themselves, and each other.Community members come to us because they have a need for one of our services. When community members come to us, we put them first, listen to what they need and give them more than just the tools to meet the basic requirements for survival. Our bilingual and bicultural staff ensures that people are heard—from immediate needs to making long-lasting change a reality in support of equity and well-being for all.
