Marin Villages Annual Appeal
How else but through the generosity of an organization like the Gruber Family Foundation would Marin Villages have the opportunity to double its fund raising potential?

The Gruber Family Foundation has offered to match all funds, dollar for dollar, raised through this year's annual appeal - up to $10,000! Help us meet (and exceed) this goal so we can continue to provide personal, friendly assistance to older adults and organize the programs and activities to keep us all active, connected and independent!!

Please consider making a donation, by clicking here or mail a check to the office at: Marin Villages

Are you Ready?
The devastation from the Camp Fire is only now being discovered, but one thing that many that we know is that you can never be "too" ready for a disaster. Seniors, in particular, seem to be especially hard hit.

There are steps you can take to prepare, so that if a major fire, earthquake or other emergency strikes, you know that you have done all you can to plan for it and the aftermath.

Ready Marin is Marin County's source for information on emergency preparedness, whether you are just starting or an experienced emergency volunteer.

Its mission is to provide guidance, training and resources to keep you and your family safe during an emergency, whether it requires you to evacuate or shelter in place. You will find information and links to resources, checklists, and training opportunities. Let's get prepared.
