New Charity - Venice Family Clinic

Venice Family Clinic
Founded in 1970 in a borrowed dental office, the Venice Family Clinic -- the newest addition to our site -- is now the largest free clinic in the U.S.  Charity Navigator has awarded it four stars for its financial management. 

The Clinic provides a wide variety of health services to more than 24,400 low-income patients (including more than 6,000 children), who make over 103,000 visits annually. Prescription medicines are provided at no charge.  Sixteen percent of the Clinic's patients are homeless.

The Clinic offers dozens of artist-designed greeting cards to help support its work.
