Welcome
to WMCS
Bringing our community closer together for more than 40 years.

West Marin Community Services (WMCS) supports programs and services that ensure the well-being of individuals and families in West Marin. Self-sufficiency, human dignity, and social justice are the values that guide our efforts.
We are the central hub for a diverse range of services that support our neighbors in West Marin. We have work hard to provide critical support in many forms – supplying food, clothing, household items, and much more to community members in need. We are incredibly proud of our contributions to our community.
