Who We Serve

The people we serve are people like you and me. We are all one paycheck, one catastrophic illness or one tragedy away from a soup kitchen.

Martha’s Kitchen is made possible by volunteers from our local community.  Our slideshow highlights some of our recent helpers.  On Thanksgiving we were blessed with a donation of turkeys from the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors, and special guest servers from the San Francisco 49ers, and the San Jose Police Academy.   Followed by a wonderful Christmas with special singers, a prime rib dinner, gifts of socks from IBT’s “socks for souls” drive, and more.  Thank you to everyone who helped us with their time, talents, and donations through the year!
