Volunteer at Health Hub: Outdoor Food Pantry Crew

Overview

Marin Community Clinics (MCC) is a full-service community health center, founded in 1972, offering primary medical care, dentistry, behavioral health, and several specialty services. With almost 40,000 patients of all ages, MCC provides health care services to 1 in 5 Marin residents. Our mission is to promote health and wellness through excellent, compassionate care for all. MCC is a patient-centered medical home recognized at the highest level by the National Committee on Quality Assurance, serving low-income and underinsured individuals.

As a leading Federally Qualified Health Center nationwide, MCC is committed to providing equal access to high quality, culturally sensitive, integrated healthcare services.

Marin Community Clinics provides a full range of support services. Our staff are trained in trauma-informed care and receive annual trainings on topics including workplace diversity, patient privacy, ergonomics, and best practices for health care delivery. Our clinics utilize Care Navigators to assist patients in finding and connecting to supportive community resources. Our Certified Enrollment Counselors prioritize checking eligibility criteria when patients are uninsured and assist them with enrollment.

Our Complex Care team helps patients with complex needs navigate systems of care.

Marin Community Clinics is seeking volunteers at our Health Hub food pantries. Most of our patients are low income families with socioeconomic and social stress. It is our priority to provide a safe, friendly, and culturally sensitive environment. Health Hubs is an outdoor, community-based, multicultural, and multilingual program that connects and engages more than 1000 people every week. Health Hubs provides access to healthy food and community resources that support the health and well-being of the community, regardless of race, age, income or place of residence.
