In the summer of 2021, Martha’s Table released a plan for our next phase of impact. In the plan, we knew it was more important than ever to center the voices of our neighbors. After convening a community panel of respected Southeast D.C. leaders to help design an intentional engagement strategy, resulting in over 1,000 meaningful connections with neighbors. We heard from residents including young adults, returning citizens, seasoned citizens, families enrolled in our early childhood programming, volunteers, and grocery market guests. The community told us in their own words what they need, what they hope for, and what they entrust Martha’s Table to act on.

At a Community Event in June of 2021, we promised to continuously engage community members and planning participants throughout the life of the plan. Join us at the end of Year 1 to have an open and honest conversation about the wins during the first year, hear about out where your community peers designed the solutions with us, and find out where you can be part of the action during Year 2.
