- North Bay Children's Center is a leader
in early care and education and focusing on programs
that support our current workforce,
which is our working parents,
while preparing our future workforce
to be academically successful.
Bank of Marin really understands our business model
and how the other clients they have, their customers,
they all are able to be successful
because of the workforce that has affordable childcare.
The Bank gets that.
They understand how we're part of the fabric
of a successful community.
We are known in the community as experts
in the child development field,
but without experts in the finance arena,
we could not be doing what we're doing.
Bank of Marin has those experts at the table.
- Homeward Bound is a community-based nonprofit.
We've been in Marin County since 1974.
We operate five shelters and 11 housing programs.
We also operate a culinary training program
that Bank of Marin has helped us sustain,
and we've seen that people who have really struggled
to hold down a regular job or have big gaps
in their work history, they're able to not only
get a job, but get a career.
The qualities that I really see in Bank of Marin
as a whole, and particularly with the staff I work with,
is that they really feel like a community-based bank.
