About

The West Marin Community Resiliency Team (CRT) is a partnership between WMCS and San Geronimo Valley Community Center (SGVCC). The CRT was initially developed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and has since evolved to support broader public health priorities in West Marin.

The Community Resiliency Teams (CRT) is a Marin County Public Health initiative to improve community awareness and knowledge of public health threats, prevention, and mitigation strategies, and to increase access to support and resources in Marin County.

Public Health Priorities in Marin County

    • Emergency Preparedness, including the Effects of Climate Change
    • Overdose Prevention
    • Access to Services

Where to get COVID-19 Tests

Testing remains a vital tool to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to keep you and your loved ones safe. Be prepared and have test kits on hand.

Many COVID-19 tests have extended expiration dates, so you may be able to use your COVID-19 tests after the expiration date that is printed on the box. To find out if your test has an extended expiration date, check the FDA’s list of extended expiration dates.

    • If you have Kaiser: Pick up at a Kaiser pharmacy, order by mail, or buy at a retail pharmacy and get reimbursed. Detailed information is on the Kaiser website.
    • If you have Medi-Cal: Bring your card to a pharmacy for 8 free at-home tests per person
    • If you have Private Insurance: Buy tests for reimbursement or order online.
    • No Insurance? Visit the CDPH testing resource page or place your order for free at-home COVID-19 tests

Every home in the U.S. can order 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests on COVIDTests.gov.

Free Naloxone Nasal Spray

Naloxone is the generic name for the medication that reverses an opioid overdose. It is an easy-to-use nasal spray that’s small enough to carry in your bag or your pocket. Keep it handy: you could save a life by reversing someone’s overdose.

WMCS offers free naloxone nasal spray to West Marin residents. Please contact us or visit our Resource Center and Food Pantry on Thursdays from 1 PM to 3 PM to pick up naloxone. You can also find it in emergency overdose kits or “Naloxboxes” available 24/7 throughout West Marin.
