The Living/Dying Project has created these lists so that people faced with a life-threatening illness and their families could find some of Marin County resources. We try our best to include any non-profit agency that has services that could benefit our clients, and continue to update our lists. We do not endorse any agency or gaurantee services. We have categorized the list and tried to give brief descriptions of what the organization offers. Some organizations are listed in more than one category. If you can't find what you need from this list, or if you have an addition or correction for our list please e-mail us. Please tell organizations that you saw them on our website.
