In their work to feature a food system story in each of California's 58 counties, CropMobster's Marin story focused on ExtraFood. Spotlighting our partnerships with Kaiser Permanente and Whistlestop to serve vulnerable seniors, the video segment shows ExtraFood in action here.
King Street Senior Housing is the newest program operated by Homeward Bound of Marin and is an affordable housing community where 12 seniors who have experienced homelessness can build hope and health. This program was created in partnership with St. Patrick’s Church, which has leased the former convent at 127 King St. in downtown Larkspur to Homeward Bound of Marin for 35 years. The King Street program opened its doors to the first residents just before Christmas and now accommodates 12 seniors aged 62 or older. Tenants have support from Homeward Bound’s program coordinator, Micha Berman, to access help with transportation, health care, job search or other needs. Every week the residents receive burritos from our Community Meals Donor, Mi Pueblo and they recently were sweetened with a weekly donut donation from Donut Alley. You can check out other Community Meals partners here on our website.
