How did you start volunteering?
My friend, Doc, began working here in November. He asked me to volunteer where he worked, and I said yes. I didn’t even know that MT moved to Southeast.
What made you want to continue to volunteer?
I liked how welcoming and nice everyone is at MT. I also just wanted to help my friend. I love the environment and vibes. Everyone is like family.
What are your plans after wrapping up volunteering at MT?
I leave for basic training in South Carolina.
Favorite MT moment?
Filming in the MTM to promote awareness about the program.

Martha’s Outfitters is more than a no-cost community clothing boutique. It is a place where DC neighbors come together, whether they are picking out a professional outfit, shopping for children’s clothes, or lending a hand to help others. At the heart of it all are our volunteers, who keep the boutique running smoothly and welcoming for everyone.
