Collecting goods. Distributing support. Resettling families.

Announcement

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Mary and Martha Services, Inc. After much consideration and reflection, we have come to the difficult decision to cease operations.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to all those who have supported us throughout the last nearly 6 1/2 years. Your commitment and generosity have been one of the strong driving forces behind our mission, and we are immensely grateful for your referrals and donations. 

While this decision was not made lightly, we believe it is the most responsible course of action given the current circumstances. Rest assured, we are working diligently to ensure a smooth transition and to fulfill any outstanding commitments to our community and partners. As of April 22, 2024 we will no longer be able to accept any household Items, furniture or clothing donations. On the other hand, we will be able to accept referrals for assistance as long as household supplies last up to and through May 31, 2024.

Although Mary and Martha Services may be closing its doors, the impact of our work will continue to resonate. We are grateful to God and proud of the achievements we have made together and the many lives we have touched.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.  Your support has meant so much to us.
