Emergency Assistance

We provide nutritional emergency food, essential baby supplies and clothing vouchers to our neighbors in need.  We distribute over 30,000 emergency assistance meals/units of service in accordance with USDA and FDA published guidelines.  It is our goal to help with food security and reduce hunger in the Coachella Valley.  There is no single face of food insecurity, hunger, and the need for help.  The working poor, the elderly on fixed incomes, college students, the impoverished, the disabled, children, families and individuals benefit from this program.

Monthly, dedicated volunteers prepare bags of donated groceries like fresh vegetables, rice, beans, and other basic essentials for distribution to local neighbors. Martha’s would not be able to provide this service if it was not for the generous support and donations from the community.
