As we look back on 2022, it’s plain to see that there is still a lot of work to do to repair the disproportionate impacts of the pandemic on people of color and people of low income. The reality is that racial and economic disparities existed long before the pandemic, and they will continue to be part of Marin County unless we take bold action. Together, a focus on community well-being will take us toward strengthened outcomes for all who live here. As this Impact Report demonstrates, direct services like childcare, utility assistance, or career and workforce training are only part of what’s needed. Advocacy too is critically important so that policies shift toward justice. Our vote, our voice, our minds open—we will empower a shared yearning for meaningful change, and we will make it happen. Dive into the numbers, testimonials, and reflections here to learn more about how we are helping people and transforming lives. From one-on-one coaching to efforts that have created new laws to protect thousands of people, our staff, volunteers, & community members like you have created.
Our agency continues to meet the pressing needs of community with safety net (food, rent, cash, deposits for housing), child care, homeless outreach, and other essential services to support those most impacted now.
