COVID-19 Program Updates

During these unprecedented times, we are all on high alert with concern for others. We want to share with you that Martha’s Village and Kitchen remains fully operational and is evaluating solutions and ongoing best practices to keep the most vulnerable in our community safe while connected to essential services, including the many that experience poverty, homelessness and chronic illness.

We continue to provide meals, showers, and employment training. Martha’s Village provides temporary housing to 120 individuals, including families with children, in our facility each night.  The Borrego Health Clinic at Martha’s Village and Child Care Center remain open.  The Martha’s Village team is committed and provides support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Due to the fast-changing nature of the COVID-19 crisis, we are responding to an increase in infection prevention and control, coordination, planning, and monitoring, all while the need for our services is increasing.  We have highlighted our programs and services that can provide immediate relief to those who are experiencing financial hardships due the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Thank you for your care and concern. Together, we will ensure that our neighbors experiencing food insecurity, homelessness and poverty have the support they need to stay safe and healthy through this crisis and beyond.

With deep appreciation,

Linda Barrack
CEO and President
Martha’s Village & Kitchen
