Home for a Home's mission is to provide homes for those in need. They are a nonprofit organization driven by the belief that a safe, solid home can be the catalyst for dramatic and positive change in people's lives. When you purchase your home using the Marin Home Team, we donate a percentage of our commission to build a home for a family in critical need. With the commission from your home purchase, we’re funding the construction of safe, secure homes in the poorest area of highland Guatemala.

The SF-Marin Food's Bank mission is to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin County, and each holiday season the Marin Home Team donates to it. The food bank envisions a community where everyone is able to obtain enough nutritious food to support the health and well-being of themselves and their families. For some 225,000 people - from the southeast corner of San Francisco to the farthest points in West Marin - the Food Bank is a vital lifeline. Food makes it possible for kids to learn, for adults to focus better at work, and for seniors to stay healthy and active.
