 On June 9th, our community came together in a spirit of joy and laughter for a truly unforgettable send-off. Each student received essential gift bags to support their journey into higher education. Discover how our Teen Lounge fosters growth and ambition, and witness the brilliance of these incredible young individuals as they prepare for the next chapter. Together, we’ll continue to nurture their dreams and provide the support they deserve.

As summer begins, thousands of DC families lose access to school meals, putting added strain on already tight budgets. Now through June 30, every dollar you give to Martha’s Table’s Summer Joyful Food Markets will be matched, up to $100,000. That means your support goes three times as far and does three times the good.

Program coordinator Matt Miller brings music, mentorship, and heart to Martha’s Table’s District Dads program, proving that when you invest in fathers, you transform families. 

Discover how volunteering as a team at Martha’s Table builds stronger bonds, fuels lasting community impact, and brings joy to everyone involved.

May 31, Martha’s Table will host a celebration of the Advancing Early Education Collaborative (AEEC), a powerful three-year partnership supported by JPMorgan Chase. This collaboration between American University, LIFT-DC, Martha’s Table, and Trinity Washington University has helped students in DC achieve degrees, certifications, and financial stability through academic guidance and essential support services. The event celebrates the program’s success and highlights the impact of collaboration in advancing early childhood education. 

We’ve hit a major milestone in our 1000 Hearts, One Goal campaign, with over 400 donors already on board. Your support can help us reach 500 donors by the end of the month, bringing us closer to our $1 million goal, helping Martha’s Table to meet the growing demand for healthy food and essential resources as more families turn to us for support.
