Creating trusted connections in community
to support greater well-being

Community Action Marin breaks down the barriers that get in the way of fair and lasting change, responds to urgent and pressing community needs, and advocates to eliminate the social inequities that hinder people’s ability to thrive. We put people first and create trusted connections in community to support greater well-being. 

We strive to meet the needs of community by preventing homelessness, ensuring healthy meals, educating preschoolers of working parents, offering cash assistance, providing emotional support, and helping people to achieve well-being.

The agency’s Whole Family Approach is designed to ensure improved outcomes at the individual, agency, and community levels. See our 2023 Community Needs Assessment which will guide us for the next two years.

How we work is critical to achieve our goals. There is no wrong door here. Strong, trusted relationships make self-sufficiency possible for over 5,000 households each year—and growing.
