Martha’s Table is a charitable organization whose goal is to support economically disadvantaged persons and provide nutritious, cost-effective meals that are served in a restaurant style setting.

A day shelter, officially called the Social Centre, but often referred to as the Friendship Room, pre-pandemic was available to users and offered a relaxed environment where one might socialize with others while enjoying breakfast, lunch, wifi and computers and a variety of workshops. During the pandemic, all indoor services have been suspended. We look forward to returning to full programming as soon as possible. To best meet the needs of our community during this time, we are offering takeout meals seven days per week and door to door delivery five days per week.

Martha’s Table is committed to delivering quality services for those in need of a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment. We have worked hard to develop and maintain an impeccable reputation within the city and industry. We have a proven track record of responsible growth and donor transparency. There is a solid team of committed Board Members, staff, and volunteers who are determined to ensure that Martha’s Table remains an active and vital part of the community for as long as needed.

    Meal sponsorships help Martha’s Table deliver much needed services in the community. They offer a way for community organizations/members to come together to work on a common goal: reducing food insecurity!

    Some of the mutual benefits include:

    • Encouraging Employee Goodwill and Teamwork – goodwill is cultivated when a company demonstrates interest in a cause its employees care about. Martha’s offers many opportunities for employee involvement.
    • Serving the Community – It’s a proven fact: good feelings are the result of helping others in a meaningful way; the best feeling of happiness is when you’re happy because you’ve made someone else happy!
    • Help provide nourishment – Martha’s Table serves an average of 400 meals per day
    • Different groups interacting – we love that we’re able to provide the space and the platform to bring different groups in the community together who would not otherwise interact and to do so in the pursuit of goals that are community-oriented.
    • You can choose the meal or we can help you with that. If you want to shop for the groceries, we’re happy to help you with planning and quantities etc… You can cook and serve or we can cook and serve or we can combine forces and do it together…the point is, you get to decide! We’re happy to fill in any gaps.

    Sponsor a meal on your birthday, wedding anniversary or any other occasion. Special menu options could include roast beef, ham or turkey with potatoes, stuffing, pickles and cheese, gravy and veggies.

    How about celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter with us? We’ll need your team to be properly trained for a very busy Holiday meal service (200 guests) so we ask that you and your team practice by volunteering for at least three meal service shifts before tackling Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter dinner.
