Martha’s Kitchen

I love volunteering here! The people I work with are very warm and welcoming. In the mornings, volunteers are involved with food prep and packing. Afternoons are a little bit more busy with volunteers serving food and drinks to the people that come in. If you’re looking for somewhere to help out, Martha’s Kitchen is the place to be.

One of the best volunteer experiences of my life! Every Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:30 — 5:30pm, Martha’s Kitchen opens up to serve meals to ANYONE IN NEED, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
Some of the people you serve are homeless, some are families struggling to make ends meet, some are druggies, some are lonely, some have mental disabilities but they all have one thing in common — they are HUMAN and should be treated as such.
The place is ran solely by volunteers and a few paid staff. If you want to volunteer, call ahead or just show up. You will need to get a TB test eventually and the two paid staff people can help you arrange that.
The best thing about this place is the look on peoples’ faces when you show them just a little bit of kindess, whether it’s asking them if they would like some more milk or juice or telling them «It’s your turn to pick out the pantry items you’d like to take with you.»
Yes, it’s a Catholic organization, but they don’t beat anyone over the head with it — just a quick prayer before you serve the meals and that’s it. Anyone and everyone is welcomed.
