The Advoc8te has had the pleasure to know Patty Stonesifer and I have always admired her commitment to the communities Martha’s Table serves. She and the entire Martha’s Table team have worked tirelessly to support the residents of Ward 7 and Ward 8. When they moved their headquarters from 14th Street NW to Elvans Road SE they wanted to be intentional about their role in the community. It was important for them to hear, to learn and to partner. That would not have been possible without Patty’s leadership and while I am sad to know that she is transitioning out of Martha’s Table in a formal capacity I know she will never really leave Martha’s Table. Her heart, soul and spirit is committed to providing children and families with opportunities. So with that in mind, I salute her and congratulate her on a job well done!
