Martha's Mission Cupboard is an emergency food pantry, solely ran by volunteers, established to provide the needy citizens of Carteret County a temporary supply of nutritious and balanced food at no cost. Our goal is to help them through a temporary financial crisis or while they await permanent assistance from the State or Federal Government. Martha's Mission Cupboard is a non-profit, tax exempt corporation, not affiliated with any church or religious organization. We have a 15 member Board of Directors and 50 (mostly retired senior citizen non-paid volunteers) who assist in the distribution of food, the administrative work and fund-raising activities.
