Community Spotlight:
food-recipientsTam House

Tam House is a Circle of Elders who enjoy their own rooms and independence while sharing communal space with independence. The organization strives to provide a “place to belong” and thrive, so often such a critically important gift to those who are late in life. Seniors—of whom there are 9,000-12,000 living below the self-sufficiency standard in Marin—are a top priority for our work, and we’re delighted to welcome Tam House into the ExtraFood family. https://tamhome.wordpress.com/
