The Three Perennial Martha’s Table Community Events

Dedicated to giving back to the community, Matthew Vlasic supports multiple philanthropic organizations. One of the organizations that Matthew Vlasic supports is Martha’s Table, which combats hunger throughout the District of Columbia. Each year, Martha’s Table holds three regular events to raise funds and awareness.

The oldest event is Sips & Suppers, which was started by Alice Waters in 2009. This weekend focuses on developing sustainable and local solutions to the challenges of homelessness and hunger. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $2 million to support programs at Martha’s Table and DC Central Kitchen.

Since 2013, Martha’s Table has run a series of Casseroles & Conversations events, which create a space for talking about the challenges faced by low-income families, as well as the link between diet-related illness and income.

This October will mark the third annual One Pot Suppers event, which invites community members to throw their own one-pot suppers on a given day to increase conversations about hunger and raise money for key Martha’s Table initiatives.
