What People are saying
“As a single father, Adopt A Family of Marin has been there for my son and me in a very desperate time. Not only that, but they responded faster than any other agency in Marin. They provided excellent referrals for employment and childcare resources, and had my son and me feeling more secure and cared for. Thank you.”
“Adopt A Family reached out and found some resources for me and helped me. The relationship I have with Imelda is more than just a case worker. My dream right now is to get my kids empowered. I’m not giving up. I’m going to figure it out.”
“After we received short notice that the affordable home we had been renting for the past 8 years was being sold, we scrambled to join the extremely competitive and expensive Marin rental market. We were days away from being homeless, however Adopt A Family stepped in and assisted us with the much needed deposit to secure a new residence.”
“Adopt A Family has been a tremendous blessing to our family. Adopt A Family was able to assist me with financial aid to come up with rent. We are learning from Adopt A Family how to be helpful and work with people. Ity feels good.”
