Hope and Help Now

"MCCF Resource Center provided essential guidance to my family about medical resources,  needed nutrition, help with rent relief applications, a birthday present, a utility bill, gas to get to UCSF… hope and respect.

COVID RESPONSE

COVID illness coupled with anxiety and loss of income is devastating. MCCF helps local  families stay afloat, providing reassurance, financial resources, and hope. MCCF has provided over a million dollars in non-governmental, direct COVID aid to our coastal community families and essential workers since the pandemic began. None of this is possible without your help. Donate Now.

Get Kids Outside

Children have lost over two years of their childhood. We think it is essential to get kids outside into activities so they can play, socialize and regain a sense of normalcy. We need your help to fund youth and middle school soccer,  circus arts, local day camps for special needs children, nature day camps for english learners, gardening projects, and outdoor fun activities for littles and bigs. Let’s get children outside!

Relief For New Moms

"When I went into early labor, MCCF made sure I had childcare, my rent and bills covered and diapers delivered to my home. Without their help, we would have been homeless. Please Donate Now."

From Our Community

"CYSL would like to thank the community for being so supportive of youth soccer. We increased our registered players by 30% this season!  We would like to sincerely thank Mendocino Coast Children's Fund for ensuring that every child in our community can play soccer.  MCCF generously donated to cover all our scholarships. There is no way we could do it without them. Thank you, MCCF!"

Coast Youth Soccer League

"Thank you, Mendocino Coast Children’s Fund for supporting girls softball. They are the proud sponsor of one of the seven tee ball teams as well as one of the three minors teams we have this year."

Fort Bragg Girls Softball Association

“When I was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, MCCF made sure I had the financial and emotional support to meet the needs of my teenage grandchild that I am raising as she faced her own health challenges. MCCF has always been there for me since my grandkids were little.”

A Grateful Grandmother

“Overnight our baby became a high-risk pregnancy. MCCF stepped in to make sure we had the financial and emotional support that we needed as our lives changed daily. They paid our rent, made sure we had money for hotel stays, kept in touch, reached out to medical social workers, and helped us process a very exhausting and frightening situation. It made a huge difference. We are so grateful to our community for supporting MCCF for families like ours.”

A Grateful Mom

“My child has disabilities and the ability to be part of activities is expensive and difficult for my family. MCCF reached out to my child’s special education teacher to make sure my daughter could have a summer scholarship. It lit up her world to be able to join a team.”

A Grateful Parent

“My son needed to be seen by a specialist in San Francisco and that would have meant an 8 hour round trip drive with my two younger children in tow. MCCF arranged for a hotel room, a gas card, and a food card. They printed out a map so I could find the medical clinic and made sure I had their cell number if I got confused or needed help. I couldn’t have done this without their help. They gave me the courage I needed to drive to the city by myself and back”
