Martha’s Table began in 1979 as a result of the partnership of Dr. Veronica Maz and Father Horace McKenna who wanted to create a place for children to receive free sandwiches and food after school.  In response to the needs of the community around us, we gradually expanded our services to find solutions to poverty in the short and long term.  We address emergency needs with food and clothing programs and work to assist children and families as they break the cycle of poverty through education and family support services.

Now, we reach over 18,000 people through our food, education and thrift store programs with significant support from 14,000 volunteers every year.
