Martha's Table: For nearly 40 years, Martha's Table has supported strong children, strong families, and strong communities by increasing access to high-quality early childhood education, healthy food, and family resources. Martha's Table believes every child, regardless of zip code, should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. In Washington, D.C., a city booming with promise and possibilities, there are unacceptable inequities that disproportionately affect children, families, and communities east of the Anacostia River. In June 2018, after years of planning and community engagement, Martha's Table relocated its headquarters from 14th Street Northwest to a newly-constructed 43,000-square-foot home on Elvans Road in Southeast Washington, D.C., where the organization is redoubling its effort to ensure every child in the community is set up for success.
