When:  Friday, May 19, 2023, 5:30-8:00pm 
Where: Maple Lawn Estate, San Rafael  

 Our annual fundraiser is a celebratory event, highlighting Community Action Marin’s shared vision for equity for all, the achievements of those we serve, and providing a welcoming space for members of the community to help advance our mission of well-being for all who call Marin home.   

Community Action Marin makes it possible for people in Marin to achieve well-being by providing the education, mental health, and vital services they need. Together, we break down the barriers that get in the way of fair and lasting change in service to better outcomes for all. With the continued impact of the pandemic, we strive to meet the needs of community by preventing homelessness, ensuring healthy meals, educating preschoolers of essential workers, offering cash assistance, providing emotional support, and helping people to achieve well-being. 

We are a community action agency dedicated to the fight against poverty. The array of services we provide promote racial and economic equity by addressing the real and varied needs of individuals and families who lack the income to be self-sufficient. Despite the fact that Marin County is one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S.; the realities for some here are no different than in far less affluent places. Getting by and getting ahead have become hard for many residents. For almost a third, just meeting basic needs means living paycheck to paycheck. With no savings to fall back on to fix a car, recuperate from illness or accidents, or find new housing or work, many are forced to make difficult choices—sometimes between putting food on the table for their families or paying rent.
