Welcome!
Adopt A Family of Marin helps low-income families in crisis. We offer financial and emotional support to prevent homelessness and provide family stability.
Adopt A Family 2008 Holiday Program
Adopt A Family is a community-based 501(c)(3) organization that believes that every family deserves respect, dignity and a place to call home. Through financial aid and emotional support we strive to prevent the homelessness of low-income families with dependent children and to enable these families to preserve their status as stable and productive members of the community.
Adopt A Family of Marin is in a unique position to help since we are committed to also providing ongoing assistance where we feel it is both necessary and appropriate. Adopt A Family clients typically are parents whose lives are in turmoil due to circumstances often beyond their control such as an illness, an injury at work, a dramatic increase in monthly rent, spousal abuse or job loss that threaten their financial ability to stay in their homes.
Assistance from Adopt A Family takes many forms and may include food vouchers, help with rent, security deposits, utility bills, car repairs, and for some families, financial aid for academic or vocational programs that will lead to greater earning power.
Since our inception in 1989, Adopt A Family has provided emotional support as well as over $3,000,000 in assistance to qualified families, helping more than 2,500 families and nearly 4,500 children avoid the devastating trauma of homelessness. Last year Adopt A Family helped 300 low-income families with 500 children survive financial and personal crisis.
Our mission remains to increase our capacity to assist families in their move from crisis towards self-sufficiency. We have pursued these goals in partnership with the generous citizens of the Marin community and granting foundations. Adopt A Family of Marin does not request or receive government funding.
