Martha's Village & Kitchen - Indio, California

This place is awesome! Not only do they help you get back on your feet when you find yourself residentially challenged, but the food... OMG totally not what I expected AT ALL! Healthy meals and delicious, I really love this place so happy to be at Martha's Kitchen and Village. I have been homeless for 14 years and having a SAFE place and a bed to come home too every night is something I only could dream of and now I finally have that. And the showers too, hot water and an accommodating variety of types ie: ♿️ shower as well as a bathtub with a handicap accessible bench.

I can see by the pictures and men and women, they are helping people who are with out. It is a blessing . They are doing what they can to provide the homeless, be great full

First of all I'm not happy with the fact that the public does not get to eat on the weekends on Saturday and Sunday, there have been many suffering homeless people out here including women with their children that starve to death on the weekends and sometimes in rare cases have even passed out with no nutrients in their system, and it's really sad that sometimes they'll even come to me and beg to me to give them food when I can only do so much for them and myself, second the courtyard needs to be reopened like it used to be and this needs to be every day including the weekends from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. so the suffering homeless people and the public can have a nice place to sit and relax and charge their phones and other devices so they can keep in contact with their loved ones, and third, the person who's in charge of the Indio Instagram profile of Martha's kitchen should be fired I don't know who blocked me on Instagram, but this was done out of hatred and discrimination, I didn't deserve this, if I have a problem or concern about something I have the right to speak up and not be secretly and suspiciously silenced about things that go on at Martha's kitchen, I'm just a average guy who's a regular at Martha's kitchen who I try to get along with everyone, but if there's people who have done me wrong there which has happened to me before, then I will speak up and make a report or I will keep my silence and my distance away from them, Mr CEO look into this and make these changes happen do not sit in your luxurious office chair and just do nothing about it take action and better the Martha's kitchen, and make things better, easy, and less complicated, do this for me, the public, and especially the suffering homeless people, learn to say yes which will lead you to success or you can say no which will lead you nowhere, which these things will just continue to pile up and get bigger later on in life, SonicX15*

I was greeted really nicely, absolutely very welcoming, as the gentleman who first receives the call transfers me to another department (C&E) , another gentleman answered " what's up bro how can I help you, yeah what do you need " in a not welcoming voice at all , it was very unpleasant If I considered trying this out definitely am no longer doing that if the social workers are this disrespectful I can only imagine the rest, I do not generalize because I know for a fact everyone is not the same. Although despite this I was asked if I wanted to be put on the waiting list very rudely ,I honestly am very disappointed about this. I don't communicate here on my review my housing status just because I have reviewed in the past at several other places.

My recommendation, don't take it personal if they're rude follow through & keep pushing until you get where you want to be even although and despite the circumstances call back even though you may not want to.

Blessings to everyone 🙏🏼

I came here with my fiancé and it was our first time ever being in homeless shelters. They had beds empty for us but did not put us together, I felt very unsafe. There were men in beds around me and had aggressive behavior. I asked to be put in the bed next to my fiance because the men scared me. .

Food was good volunteers nice. The caseworker was exceptional. But I was told to call at 5:00 to see if I was going to get a bed which I was informed earlier that I would since I just got out of the hospital because of a woman in her car hit me and I couldn't walk I ended up walking over 2 miles that day with a walker. More than likely I will need surgery again to fix the damage the walking did. And it's all good because after register I know that gets the shelter money for me needing a place to stay. And all the funds that California got from the government will go to good cause I'm sure there's some official out there that needs a new house remodeled car kid needs braces God forbid helping a guy out who just got run over by a car has no place to go and has worked all his life and if he could work now he would be but yet there's people out there in a bed have no plans on working never did doing dope all that and that's okay I don't think so.

I can't confirm nor deny this review, but this place is shady as all hell. Something fishy is going on here if I can't visit my father.

Residential staff are very rude. If they don't like you they will hurt your childern and call c.p.s. on you. Be very careful checking into this place. If your diabetic like me, good luck. Security needs to learn how to talk to people like people. If your a single parent of a toddler or infant and don't feel comfortable having them out of your site, you won't be able to eat either, Andy's #4 is a block away and will cost about $50 a day of you want to eat.
