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 are incredibly proud of our contributions to our community.
