To help the hungry, especially children

Opportunity Details

Join us on Thursday's in Novato to pass out food, set up, and enjoy yourselves while helping the less fortunate in our community.

Free, nutritious food; health education; cooking demonstrations; screenings for diabetes and hypertension; and various community resources.

It all comes together at Marin Community Clinics’ weekly Health Hubs, held at our San Rafael and Novato clinics.

Despite its overall high income level, Marin County continues to have great economic disparities. Some can’t afford to put healthy food on the table, and others don’t have easy access to important health information, let alone screening for common chronic diseases.

Building health and communities
The goal of the Health Hubs is to serve families, seniors, and the working poor who often have to choose between buying healthy food, purchasing gas to travel to work, or paying for needed medical care.

Our Health Hubs are unique
The program is multi-lingual and multi-cultural, providing relevant resources while creating opportunities to promote healthy lifetime choices.

Partnership among participants - SFMarin Food Bank, ExtraFood.org, Marin Community Clinics, and many other community-based organizations.

Rain or Shine - We have a drive-through line for the food bank, which is great when the weather is bad.

On June 21-23, United Way of the Inland Valleys will pack 100,000 heart healthy meals for local charities. Many of these meals will go to young families and children. For less than $1.50, we can feed a family of six!

In addition to meals, we will also give literacy kits to families to they have have books at home. A literacy kit is comprised of a popular, developmentally appropriate books and a collection of related objects, games, or other activities designed to make reading interactive and enjoyable for young children. Reading a book and engaging in the accompanying activities supports the development of a child’s language and literacy skills, as well as their creative thinking; and literacy kits help make reading fun for both the child and for the adult who is reading with the child.

Volunteers are needed to collect and organize books along with fundraising through Facebook and other means to ensure there are kits and food for each family.

It's St. Patrick's Day and it's no coincidence that things are looking a little greener at Elk Run Farm! New sprouts will surely be peeking out of the ground to greet the warmer weather and change in season.

Elk Run Farm grows fruits and vegetables for the twelve food banks of the South King County Food Coalition. This will be our last winter volunteering hours and the last chance to get the farm ready before the growing season fully kicks off.

Come celebrate this spring holiday by working on your green thumb and help Elk Run Farm welcome in all the luck St. Patrick's Day has to offer. The main task for the day is to plant peas so that they will be ready for the spring harvest. We will be prepping beds for the peas, building trellises so the peas will have proper support, and of course, planting the peas! These peas will be harvested multiple times throughout the growing season and en route to the food banks by June. Help us feed families in South King County!
