Every child deserves safety, stability, and love — yet 35% of Marin’s foster youth are placed outside the county due to a shortage of local resource families. Marin Foster Care Association (MFCA) is working to change that statistic by equipping foster families with the tools and support they need to keep kids close to their schools, friends, and communities. Through its Community Resource Center, MFCA provides FREE essentials like clothing, shoes, diapers, toiletries, school supplies, and backpacks — everything a child needs to feel safe and cared for from day one. MFCA’s Opportunity Project grants fund tutoring, camps, and enrichment activities that let kids explore, learn, and build confidence. For youth aging out of care, MFCA offers vital support, including access to

affordable housing, household supplies, and career resources. But MFCA doesn’t just support kids — they nurture the entire caregiving ecosystem. By offering therapeutic support, caregiver trainings, and community-building events, MFCA strengthens families so they can continue this life-changing work. This holiday season, your gift can keep foster youth in Marin, help them heal, and give them the bright future they deserve. Support kids right here in our community by giving to Marin Foster Care.
