Breaking Barriers,
Building Hope
Fast, flexible aid for families and neighbors in Marin, Sonoma, and beyond—because everyone deserves stability.
Get Started with School Worx:
At School Worx, we meet families where they are—whether they’re facing temporary hardship or long-term instability—with quick, judgment-free support to help them regain their footing.
No bureaucracy, no waitlists. Just what’s needed, when it’s needed.
We serve low-income families, students, homeless individuals, and disaster-affected communities, with a focus on education and stability. Contact us to apply for aid.
Please note: We prioritize urgent needs (housing, utilities, school access).
“When my cancer left me unable to work, School Worx paid our PG&E bill so my kids could keep doing homework. They didn’t just save our electricity—they saved our hope.”

Get To Know Us
“We’re not just a nonprofit—we’re neighbors helping neighbors. What started as a family handing out sandwiches from their kitchen grew into a movement powered by lawyers, teachers, students, and grandparents who believe no child should miss school over a $12 uniform.”
A School Worx Tradition: Holiday Help in SF
Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, we distribute clothes, hygiene kits, and meals to unhoused neighbors in San Francisco—honoring our roots as a family handing out sandwiches from their kitchen.
