The Multicultural Center of Marin (MCM) is continuing its essential services during this health and economic crisis. MCM’s weekly food distribution is providing food for over 500 families every week, up from about 100 per week before the crisis, including home delivery for the most vulnerable recipients. MCM’s weekly radio show in Spanish, “Cuerpo Corazon Comunidad,” is providing information about wellness and needed services.
