My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a volunteer with Welcoming Home for several years, both as a donor and as a "boots-on-the -ground" worker. We are an energetic and committed community of designers, installers, and treasure hunters, really just regular Marinites with a heart for making homes for the formerly homeless. We meet a family in their new empty apartment, listen to their stories, assess their needs and discover their preferences. Then we go away and make a real home for them, functional and beautiful, with their favorite colors, artwork, complete kitchen, even the "Paw Patrol and Disney princess" bedrooms that all kids wish they had. With a beautiful, stable home, these families, who have felt "less than" for so long, begin to live and feel like they are just like us. It's a gift to them and to the volunteers and to all of Marin.
