About Matthew Martin

Regional Manager for New England States

Before he became The Outreach Program’s very first Regional Manager, Matthew Martin was a Lutheran pastor from Minnesota. Since 2005, Matthew has partnered with thousands of groups (over 80 different kinds!) to package tens of millions of meals. He made the leap from the parish to the non-profit world in 2011 when he learned that 1 in 4 American kids was going to bed hungry, including 1 in 3 kids in Maine!

Right before the pandemic, food insecurity was at a 20-year low of 1.4 million hungry New Englanders. This year, it has peaked–we have more hunger now than we have ever had–at 2.1 million.

Matthew, and his wife, Heidi, make their home in Marshfield, Massachusetts with their daughter, Adeline, and their son, Malachi. In 2013, Heidi, who had previously been a teacher, became an author (HeidiMartinBooks.com). All of the proceeds from her children’s book and novel go to feed more hungry kids. When they are not working together to end hunger, they like to travel as a family.
