The Marin County HEAL Collaborative’s goal is to advance our shared priority of advancing work that supports community empowerment (control over decision-making processes, self-determination, community leadership, etc.) within the local food system and promotes leadership from low-income Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
Community Action Teams
The MarinHEAL Collaborative utilizes a co-lead model with local stakeholders to enact change in the priority communities in The Canal District of San Rafael, Marin City, and the West Marin Region.
This work is led in partnership with Alcohol Justice (the Canal), the Marin County Cooperation Team (Marin City), and San Geronimo Valley Community Center (West Marin).
West Marin
West Marin encompasses Bolinas, Point Reyes Station, Olema, Stinson Beach, Bolinas, Tomales, Dillon Beach, Inverness, and the San Geronimo Valley.
