It's been a great year at the Bethany Project! We did what we set out to do: develop relationships with our unhoused neighbors. The profound power of simple human presence linked our hearts together. This year, more of our Marin neighbors have found themselves unhoused, unseen, and carrying the weight of trauma and isolation. Traditional systems often require people to earn their belonging. At Bethany, we reverse that: every person belongs first—without condition.

At The Bethany Project Marin, our work is rooted not in programs or performance—but in unconditional welcome, deep listening, and relationships that honor the dignity of every person who walks through our doors. In 2025, we have:

🌿 Held space for nearly 100 individuals
People experiencing homelessness, crisis, or loneliness found a safe, judgment-free room to rest, breathe, and be met with compassion.

🤝 Provide over 1,000 hours of one-to-one relationship presence
Not case management. Not mentorship. Just consistent, unconditional human connection.

🏠 Expand our Radical Hospitality Drop-In Space
Offering snacks and warm meals, conversation, warmth, and a sense of family to those with nowhere else to go.

What we do is simple—but not easy.
It takes time, presence, and people who are trained to meet people with compassion instead of judgment. It takes a space that is safe, welcoming, and open. It takes resources to provide consistency for those who have known only instability.
To continue this work—and expand it—we are seeking $10,000 in year-end giving.

Your gift directly supports:
👐 Radical Hospitality
Snacks, warmth, supplies, and a safe place to simply be.

💬 Relationship Presence
Staff time dedicated to deep, empathetic companionship with people who have been abandoned by systems.

💙 Lifetime Human Connection
Because no one should ever be given up on.

Every contribution—whether $25 or $2,500—directly fuels radical belonging for those who need it most.

This Giving Tuesday, You Can Help Restore Dignity in Marin County 🌟

Today, we’re inviting our community to stand with those who are too often unseen and unheard.

The Bethany Project is a trauma-informed, relationship-centered nonprofit dedicated to offering radically inclusive support for vulnerable unhoused people in Marin County. Every day, we create safe, judgment-free spaces where individuals are welcomed, heard, and honored for exactly who they are — without condition.

Your Giving Tuesday gift helps us:
✨ Provide consistent, compassionate presence to those navigating trauma and isolation
✨ Cultivate dignity and personal agency through one-to-one relationships
✨ Offer a replicable model of unconditional care that strengthens schools, communities, and systems
✨ Remind every person that they matter, they belong, and they are never given up on

💛 Will you help us continue this work?
Every donation — big or small — directly supports people in our community who deserve safety, connection, and belonging.

👉 Donate today:

Thank you for showing up with love, grace, and radical welcome. Together, we can build a Marin where everyone has a place to belong.

Project Bethany is steadily growing. Each week it gets better and better. Last Thursday was awesome! We had a steady stream of volunteers. Thank you Cheri, Patti, Maggie, Edna, Elle, Shaun, Kristen, Dina, Stone, and THE adventurous Shelly. We also enjoyed a surprise visit from Bambi, Jenn, Robbie, and Jason! People were able to shower and enjoy hot soup with cheese cake on the side. There is nothing like community members coming together. Everyone has a seat at the table at 5400 Nave Dr!
