Martha's Table seeks in-kind donations for families

Martha’s Table could use your support this holiday season!

This winter, there are many ways to contribute to the work of Martha’s Table and to help ensure a happy and comfortable holiday season for all. See below for details and please share with your neighbors, friends and colleagues!

HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR CHILDREN
Contact: Beatriz Barros at 
bbarros@marthastable.org

With your support, we are able to supplement holiday gifts (e.g. children’s clothing, educational toys, and books) and gift-wrapping supplies to our families enrolled in early childhood education and enrichment programs at Martha’s Table. Please click here for donation guidelines.

WINTER CLOTHING FOR FAMILIES
Contact: Martha’s Outfitters Team at outfitters@marthastable.org 

Share warmth with our D.C. neighbors by donating winter hats, gloves, scarves, winter coats, and sleeping bags to the men, women, and families we support through Martha’s Outfitters and McKenna’s Wagon. Please click here for clothing donation guidelines.

 

HOLIDAY FOOD FOR COMMUNITIES
Contact: The Holiday Food Team at 
donations@marthastable.org

The number of neighbors seeking the support of our food and nutrition programs doubles during the cold winter months.

  • McKenna’s Wagon –Our daily mobile food truck serving fresh fruit, sandwiches, and a hot meal operates every night of the week, 365 days per year.  Your donation will support our food inventory throughout the winter months.

  • Martha’s Markets & Joyful Food Markets – Martha’s Markets are available at both 14th Street and The Commons for neighbors to shop once per month for fresh produce and shelf-stable pantry items. Joyful Food Markets are our no-cost pop-up farmers’ markets at elementary schools and community centers throughout the city. We expect to see an increase in attendance at all of our markets during the winter months. Your gifts and food donations help us ensure that every family that visits a market leaves with the nutritious groceries (including seasonal ingredients).
