About Us

The Marin Foster Care Association focuses on turning a period of profound crisis in a child's life into a time of security, healing and opportunity. Our mission of  providing comprehensive resources that inspire and empower the Foster Care Community is sustained and advanced through our four main programs:

• The Community Resource Center fills the day-to-day material needs of Marin's foster children, free of charge

• Events, outings and support forums provide a sense of community and normalcy for foster families

• Advocacy with other Marin County agencies serving children in the dependency system promotes best practices

• Because each child is marked by a unique history of abuse and neglect, our Opportunity Project provides direct cash awards that support priority services tailored to the most urgent, individual needs of Marin's foster children
