Van Fundraiser

Home Away is growing…and we're searching for another van to transport all of the youth we serve! As we relaunch our Beach House Program and begin driving groups of children out to our cottage in the Marin Headlands, we are in need of another vehicle.

An additional vehicle will allow our programs to support more youth and provide access to the natural world, outdoor education and a supportive, nurturing community. Contribute today to help us kick off the school year with some new wheels!


Become a recurring HomeAway donor to support our ongoing programs.
