Corporate Sponsorship

Hello Friends of Martha’s,
As we head into December and the holiday season, we often think back over our year and of giving to others. The year 2020 will be forever etched in our memories as one of the most challenging in decades. Our thoughts are with families that have suffered and lost, and those that continue to struggle. There have been a lot of victories and joy in the year too, despite the pandemic! We have witnessed the community pull together and work hard to help neighbours, friends and family.
The number of people that are food insecure is increasing. Here is how we are making a positive impact:
We are now offering takeout meals for safety and convenience We extended our services from 5 days per week to 7 days.
We have served over 27,000 meals since mid-March.
We maintained our summer jobs for youth programs during the summer.
To reduce isolation, we opened a summer patio where guests can socialize in a safe way.
The patio has now been winterized to provide a heated, permanent covered structure where guests may dine and enjoy social interaction.
Watch for a meal delivery program! We hope to have this running before December! The most vulnerable—those that cannot leave their homes, will have hot meals delivered to their door.
Thank you to our dedicated volunteers who continue to support Martha's in a variety of ways.
Martha’s Table has continued, without pause, to meet the needs of our community before and during a pandemic. We will continue to keep Martha’s open for takeout meals and friendship on the patio until it is safe to return to our indoor services.
We would like to thank you for your previous support; it has been a privilege to partner with you! We ask that if you find yourself in a position to offer Martha’s assistance in 2020/2021, your donation would be greatly appreciated, and it is «Text2»needed more than ever. Together we will help people stay healthier and make their days brighter.
On behalf of the Guests we serve, our amazing volunteers, and staff, we wish you Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, and we wish you and yours a safe and wonderful New Year!
