At Martha’s Table, our mission is to support strong children, strong families, and strong communities.

Since 1980, Martha’s Table has been a symbol of dignity, equity, and opportunity in Washington, DC. What began with a sandwich and a safe space for youth after school on 14th Street NW has grown into a powerful, community-centered organization serving over 45,000 neighbors each year through high-quality education, healthy food and wellness initiatives, family support, and investments that spark opportunity and strengthen community. To further our impact, we relocated our headquarters in 2019 to the heart of Ward 8, ensuring we remain deeply connected to the neighborhoods we serve.

Our work is guided by the wisdom and leadership of our neighbors and rooted in the belief that strong communities are built by investing in people. We are committed to walking alongside our neighbors, creating opportunities, and strengthening the foundations that allow children and families to succeed.
