What a great summer it’s been working with St. Vincent de Paul Society of Marin County —
an extraordinary nonprofit that provides food, housing, and hope to 10,000 people every year.
​
Every single day, hundreds of neighbors walk into Vinnies’ Free Dining Room:
* Families living in their cars after medical bills wiped out their savings.
* Seniors choosing between rent, groceries, or medicine.
* Veterans carrying invisible burdens as they try to make it through the day.
Each person has their own story, and each is treated with compassion, dignity, and hope. 💙
The best part for me? Working alongside the amazing Vinnies team — kind, thoughtful, and deeply committed to making sure no one in Marin goes to bed hungry. They’re not just serving meals; they’re helping hundreds of people move into safe, stable housing and begin rebuilding their lives.
I’m so grateful for this partnership and excited about what’s ahead.
