Can I complete my school required/ court-mandated community service with Martha's Table?
Depending upon our needs, availability in schedule, and the feasibility of completing your service by an assigned date, we can arrange for you to perform your community service with us. Because of certain regulations with government contracts and our close work with food and children, we reserve the right to decline those with certain charges.

Is my 10 year old too young to volunteer?
We often have a highly supervised group of 7 year old children volunteer in food preparation with us! So, children are welcome. We do ask for you to be realistic about the children’s attention span when scheduling; our food preparation shift lasts 3 hours, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Consider scheduling your family or group for a shorter, 2-hour shift.
