Martha’s Table

What Martha’s Table does

Martha's Table is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1980 by Dr. Veronica Maz, headquartered at 2375 Elvans Road SE in Washington, D.C. (Ward 8). It operates a portfolio of no-cost community programs organized across four pillars—Education, Health & Wellness, Family & Community Support, and Community Investments—serving residents of Wards 7 and 8. Core offerings include Early Childhood Education, Joyful Food Markets (pop-ups at 50+ schools and recreation centers), Martha's Table Markets (choice-based weekday markets at The Commons and The Maycroft), McKenna's Wagon (mobile meal distribution operating 365 days/year), Martha's Outfitters (no-cost clothing boutique), Teen Lounge, Global Passport, Diaper Bank Distribution, Baby & Me, District Dads, and the Historic Anacostia Family Success Center.

The organization has no proprietary technology product. Its infrastructure relies on established nonprofit SaaS integrations—Double the Donation for matching-gift search, FreeWill for legacy giving, Eventbrite for event registration, Cognito Forms for in-kind donation receipts, Social Solutions Portal for neighbor access, and Network for Good for online fundraising pages. Service delivery is anchored in three owned physical locations plus pop-up distribution, and supported by ~5,000 volunteers contributing 28,276 hours in FY25.

FY25 operating revenue totaled $27,283,551 against $29,198,462 in operating expenses, producing a ~$1.9M operating deficit. Revenue is diversified across individual donations (33.83%), federal and state government grants (33.01%), in-kind contributions (11.24%), foundation grants (6.69%), corporate giving (2.23%), workplace giving (1.52%), and special events (1.37%). The organization distributed 2.2 million meals—up 23% year-over-year and 49.7% versus 2023—and served over 45,000 neighbors annually. Leadership is led by President & CEO Tiffany Williams, with CFO Julian Gamez (since January 2022) and a C-suite spanning talent, programs, development, and communications.
