The CEODear Friends,
As Martha’s Table marks 45 years of serving Washington, DC, I am filled with gratitude for our community and optimism for what lies ahead. This year also marks my 10th year with Martha’s Table, and over the past decade, I have seen what is possible when a community believes in itself and leads with purpose.
The 2024-2025 fiscal year was one of growth, learning, and community coming together in powerful ways. We faced challenges we could not have predicted, and those moments revealed our ability to adapt, collaborate, and stay focused on our mission to support strong children, strong families, and strong communities.
Over the past year, our programs have evolved to expand opportunities for DC neighbors. We expanded access to healthy food, strengthened emotional wellness programming, and created new pathways for economic mobility, providing neighbors with the resources and opportunities to grow, evolve, and thrive.
When we noticed that more neighbors were visiting our daily, choice-based, no-cost markets, we quickly responded with the 1000 Hearts: One Goal campaign. More than 1,000 supporters joined us to raise additional resources and ensure that every neighbor could access healthy food. This campaign demonstrated the power of collaboration, showing that when our community works together, we can achieve a meaningful and lasting impact.
As you explore this report, I invite you to celebrate our collective impact and imagine what the next 45 years can hold. Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your commitment to Martha’s Table.
With gratitude,
Tiffany Williams
President & CEO, Martha's Table
At Martha’s Table, our greatest strength is our community. In FY25, we grew stronger together, deepening connections with local organizations, leaders, and neighbors to create more opportunities for children, families, and the broader community. We continued to lead conversations on food access, community-driven solutions, early childhood education, and volunteerism, sharing insights and best practices across local, regional, and national platforms.

At Martha’s Table, we believe lasting change begins with community. We are committed to addressing the root causes of health, educational, and economic disparities so every child, family, and neighbor in Washington, DC, can thrive. This year, we are proud to highlight the impact of our work across four key areas: empowering young learners, promoting health and wellness, strengthening families and community connections, and investing in the local community to create lasting opportunities.
In FY25, we strengthened early childhood education programs, giving children the tools to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We also launched a new Teen Lounge, a safe and welcoming space where teens can create, connect with their peers, and focus on their futures. Older youth continued to expand their horizons through the Global Passport program, including an international trip to Panama, sparking curiosity, confidence, and leadership skills.

As neighbors navigate life, our health and wellness programs evolve to support their well-being. No-cost, choice-based food access through Martha’s Table Markets, Joyful Food Markets, and McKenna’s Wagon provided fresh, nourishing options that allowed families to choose what worked best for them. This year, demand for our markets increased significantly, reflecting the trust families placed in these resources. Programs like Healthy Happy Hour, Art as Healing, and Healing Movements offered space for creativity, connection, introspection, and reflection, strengthening mental health and emotional well-being.
0

We know strong families are the core of strong communities. Programs like Baby & Me, District Dads, Martha’s Outfitters, and Strong African American Families highlight the strengths of families and create spaces for connection, learning, and growth.
"The Baby and Me program has been such a blessing. I met other moms who became friends and learned tips that made motherhood less overwhelming. It’s more than a program, it’s a family." Maurika H.

We celebrated the ways our community continues to grow, evolve, and thrive. By strengthening partnerships, expanding programs, and creating new opportunities, we worked alongside neighbors to support children, families, and the neighborhoods they call home.
Thanks to the dedication of our friends, volunteers, and partners, we built connections and shared moments of joy throughout Ward 8. Our signature events remain at the heart of this work, uniting the community to celebrate, give back, and foster deeper relationships throughout the year.
In January, we honored the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with a meaningful day of service, engaging in acts of community care that included a peace walk, neighborhood cleanup, winter item giveaway, and a community center beautification.
In October, we hosted a winter coat giveaway, distributing 3,000 brand-new coats to community members to help them stay warm during the season.
In November, more than 1,000 friends and neighbors came together to share a delicious meal, reflect on our shared achievements, and celebrate the hope and strength of our community
Our work is made possible by the dedication and generosity of our team, neighbors, donors, volunteers, and partners. We are grateful for the time, energy, and care you bring to Martha’s Table each day.
