Our mission is to help meet basic human needs.
The Family Shelter in Martin’s House provides a safe haven for families struggling with homelessness.
Food Pantry
Our vision is a community without homelessness, hunger, and poverty.
The Food Pantry is located in the Barn and supported by local businesses, farms, caring donors, and the Maryland Food Bank. Regular programming during Food Pantry hours allows clients to access information on community services, health information, educational opportunities, and life skills classes.
Thrift Store
We provide clothing, furniture, and household items to help local families in need.
Martin's House & Barn's Thrift Shop, also located in the Barn, offers quality clothing and household items and is currently closed and not accepting donations due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Emergency supplies remain available by appointment..
Homelessness Prevention Services
Poverty is not a choice. We show compassion and respect for all our clients as they struggle with challenging situations and realities.
Martin's House & Barn's Homelessness Prevention Services focuses on a “Housing First” approach to help community clients avoid eviction and shelter clients to quickly get into their own housing. Case management helps clients determine obstacles, make a plan and navigate available sources.
