April is Volunteer Appreciation Month – A Time to Honor Our Heroes!

April is a special time for us to shine a spotlight on Martha’s Table’s heart and soul: our volunteers. Volunteer Appreciation Month is more than just a celebration; it’s our chance to express our deepest gratitude to the incredible individuals who pour their time, energy, and passion into making our community stronger. 

Our volunteers are at the core of everything we do. They don’t just serve meals or organize events—they change lives. Their unwavering commitment helps us provide healthy food, education, and essential resources to our neighbors, and they bring compassion, warmth, and smiles to every corner of our work.

In 2024, more than 4,500 volunteers generously contributed over 29,000 hours—an incredible testament to the dedication and compassion that fuel our work. Their efforts have made a tangible impact. 

These numbers tell only part of the story. Behind every meal served, every event supported, and every person uplifted, a volunteer is giving their time and energy to help others.

“I come here every week to help put a smile on the faces of our neighbors. I truly love giving back—it fills my heart. I first visited during a field trip, and I really loved it. Now, as a volunteer, seeing how people react—it’s incredibly rewarding for me.” – Starr Y.

 

Thanks to volunteers like Starr and many others, Martha’s Table distributed 1,842,359 meals and provided 89,932 articles of no-cost clothing—helping families across Washington, DC, save $2.5 million. Read more about this impact in our Annual Report.

Volunteering is more than just lending a helping hand—it’s about building meaningful connections, fostering a sense of belonging, and creating a brighter future for all. Every hour given, every meal served, and every moment shared contributes to something greater: a stronger, more equitable Washington, DC.

If you’re inspired to get involved or want to continue making a difference, we’d love for you to join us! Your time makes a difference, whether it’s once a week, once a month, or whenever you can. Visit our website to explore volunteer opportunities and be part of this incredible movement of kindness and service.
