Paving the Path for Brighter Futures
Running the county’s largest nonprofit social services agency keeps the Community Action Marin team of over 200 staff busy. A lot of individuals and families rely on us, but when we met Maria Pech, we knew her voice spoke for many.
During the pandemic, needs skyrocketed. Thousands of our Marin friends and neighbors struggled to keep their jobs, pay their bills, stay healthy, and make ends meet. Community Action Marin leaned in to meet the challenge, helping more people than ever before.
Maria is a mother of three children getting comprehensive services from Head Start to cash assistance and food. She told us she loves the way the teachers focus on her children—each one unique – and how Community Action Marin helped to support her whole family.
When the pandemic started, her husband lost his job. She shared “In Marin you live from day to day. If you don’t work, there’s no rent. I believe that many families live the same way.”
Maria’s story is an example of why we do this work. Being there for families when they need us the most. Join our community of donors. Every gift matters, regardless of the size. Your donation today will make it possible to continue to put people in our county on a path to greater stability and hope.
