Do you want to give back and help others this holiday season? Martha’s Village and Kitchen appreciates all of the support that we receive from our local community and we wanted to share a few ways that you can get involved to help our local neighbors in need through our Annual Season of Giving Campaign.
BECOME A COMMUNITY PARTNER
Join Martha’s Village and Kitchen Annual Giving Society and give hope to our neighbors in need. Your gift will help the impoverished and homeless in the Coachella Valley to return to a life of self-sufficiency. With a donation of $5,000 or more, you can Adopt-A-Room with naming opportunities for you, your family, school, business or community group/organization. Every donation and gift, no matter the amount, helps change lives!
You can make a one-time donation or set up a recurring monthly gift online or contact us directly at 760-347-4741 ext 120.
HOST A DONATION DRIVE
Martha’s Village and Kitchen helps to provide all basic needs to our neighbors in need including: Food, Clothing, Baby Supplies and Hygiene Products. You can help by collecting these items individually or as a group. Every item and donation helps. Together, We Are Changing Lives! To get started, fill out a donation drive information form online.
Food Drive: Help collect canned, boxed and non perishable goods to help provide hunger relief.

HOST A GIFT CARD/TOY DRIVE
You can help bring smiles to children and families this holiday season by participating in our Season of Giving Toy/Gift Card Drive. All items received will be donated to the children and families that are currently residing at MVK in our residential program. Our hope is to ensure that all kids, especially our teenagers, get to experience the holiday season as well. With your help, we can make that happen. All donations do need to be received by Wednesday, December 20th at 5pm and can be delivered to MVK at 83791 Date Avenue in Indio.
