When you donate to Martha’s, you are helping to provide a safe, welcoming environment for impoverished and homeless families, children, and individuals. We work hard to provide all clients with wraparound services addressing their various needs, so that they are empowered to transform their lives with dignity. These programs and services address educational needs, employment, hunger stabilization, professional case management, and child care.
All contributions made to Martha’s Village and Kitchen are tax-deductible, and your donation dollars stay in the Coachella Valley to help our local neighbors in need. Your gift today can make a lifelong difference, and we cannot do it without you. Together, we are changing lives!

Eighty-two cents of every dollar goes to Martha’s Village programs. See our Reports and Financial Statements page for more information.

Something happens in a person’s life –, financially, mentally, emotionally, physically – to cause them to temporarily lose their ability to care for themselves.
120+ people – babies, families, and single men and women – receive shelter and services at Martha’s Village; 70 beds are for children and infants. Families live in a room together and no family in need is ever turned away.
Residents in our emergency housing program can live at Martha’s Village for up to 3 months. In that time they are working closely with a case manager to obtain a monthly income and acquire affordable and safe housing.
Unlike most shelters, Martha’s Village provides residence, meals and educational programs, job training, children’s services, counseling, recovery services and an on-site medical clinic to help those in need regain their self-sufficiency.
Martha’s Village serves an additional 300 to 500 local neighbors a day with access to a hot meal, our medical clinic, and emergency food packages from our pantry.
Martha’s Village is a professional service center where residents must commit to follow a structured program of classes, chores and house rules.
