Where does the name Martha & Mary come from?
Our founder selected the name after the story in the Bible (Luke 10:38-42) of two sisters that had invited Jesus into their home. One sister was name Martha while the other was named Mary. This story reminds us that while each of us are called to serve in different ways, we can never get so busy with tasks that we forget the value of relationships with those around us.
Why is it important that Martha & Mary is a not-for-profit provider?
As a not-for-profit provider it means that the customers and community in which we serve come first. We don't have private owners or shareholders to keep happy. Unlike other providers in this region, 100% of our resources are put back into our mission. For more information about the importance of a not-for profit provider, click here.
