    ABOUT MARTHA'S TABLE

    At Martha's Table, we believe that every Washingtonian deserves the opportunity to thrive. For over forty years, we have worked to support strong children, strong families, and strong communities by increasing access to quality education, health and wellness, and family resources.

    Together, we are "One MT." This means we work across all three of our locations to support our shared mission.

When you come to Martha's Table -- as a guest or as a team member -- you are valued and you deserve our very best.

    In order to be the best version of MT, we are deeply committed to equitable practices. We apply the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in providing programming and services; in creating our Board; in partnerships and procurement; and in hiring, training, and advancing our team members.
