For 35 years, Martha’s Table has worked to build a better future for children, their families, and neighbors in the District of Columbia by increasing access to healthy starts, healthy eating, and healthy connections.

As it celebrates 35 years, Martha’s Table is setting the table for the next 35 by opening an exciting new facility to serve the Hillsdale community in Ward 8. By expanding our network, Martha’s Table will be building on our rich history, values, expertise, and results in order to address some of the greatest challenges facing District families today.
