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.

Your gently used clothes can do more than take up space—they can provide warmth, confidence, and opportunity for your community! Through Martha’s Outfitters, every donation gets a second life, helping families access essential attire.

At Martha’s Table, we were proud to carry on the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by fostering a stronger, more connected community. Dr. King dedicated his life to service and justice, reminding us that “service isn’t just a moment—it’s a lifelong commitment to making things better.” To honor his legacy, we partnered with volunteers and community partners to bring his vision to life.

We’re thrilled to launch our Barbers and Beauticians of the Future program, designed to help youth explore exciting careers in barbering and cosmetology. This isn’t just a training program—it’s a career-building experience that supports young people as they develop real-world skills, gain hands-on experience, and create pathways to sustainable careers.
