Volunteer.
Get involved in the community!
At Edna Martin Christian Center, volunteers are at the heart of everything we do to support the Martindale Brightwood community. You might help kids with homework, lend a hand at community events, stock shelves in the food pantry, or share your own skills and ideas. However you choose to serve, your time and energy create real change. Come join us, meet new friends, and help neighbors grow stronger together.

Donate Today!
Edna Martin Christian Center began in 1941 when Edna Martin, a 43-year-old trailblazer, rented a one-room apartment and started a daycare to support families. She fed children, taught them about Jesus, helped parents with life skills, and inspired others to give back. The Center grew under the American Baptist Churches in 1945, and Edna continued uplifting the community until her passing in 1974.
Today, we continue her mission in Martindale-Brightwood. We rely on generous supporters like you—please consider donating to help us carry on this important work. Thank you!
