MARTHA'S TABLE INC

Martha's table's parent & family initiatives help ensure caregivers are deeply supported as they serve as their children's first and most important teachers. These initiatives support parents outside of the classroom through regular family visits throughout the first two years of their child's life. Martha's table also offers a family resource center, parent cafes, and training programs that help parents achieve their personal goals. Other initiatives include the cash assistance programs in partnership with several organizations and the district of columbia government. A new initiative this year includes district dads that supports community fathers and father figures through parental support workshops. Additionally, martha's outfitters, martha's table's no-cost community boutique, offers free access (continued on sch o)to baby items, including bottles and diapers, as well as children's and professional clothing for families.

Neighborhood impact initatives: throughout all its work, martha's table is guided by its belief that neighborhood matters. Martha's table has invested in a place-based strategy, which will direct resources to overcome complex and systemic social, physical, and economic factors that have historically limited its community's success. Neighborhoods influence access to resources that are critical for life success. With this belief, martha's table invests deeply in the neighborhoods surrounding its headquarters in southeast, dc, and its community development team works in partnership with local residents to identify and prioritize opportunities to increase access to essential resources in their community. Martha's table initiated the community impact fund, a philanthropic initiative for grassroots organizations in ward 8.
