Who We Are

West Marin Community Services (WMCS) is a central hub for a diverse range of services that support our neighbors in West Marin. We respond to ever-changing circumstances and act as a safety-net to address needs unfulfilled by other organizations or government programs. This organization works to bring the community closer together by building equity and fostering effective communication. For more than 40 years, we have provided critical support in many forms: supplying food to the hungry, clothing and household items to families, providing referrals to county, state, and federal programs, offering sponsorship to local non-profits, and much more to community members in need.
