Our Community

Making an impact near and far…

As a family-run business with two baking facilities, one in Chambersburg, PA, and another in Valdosta, GA, our local towns and surrounding communities are very important to us. Martin’s employs several-hundred employees between these two locations, so we want to be sure that we are supporting the communities where our employees live and work.

Being part of a local community is an important experience for individuals and families alike. It is critical that people have the chance to find a sense of belonging and to build healthy relationships with others with whom they can grow and learn together. That’s why we’re grateful for the local businesses, social and recreational clubs, and community development organizations that help to make our towns a safe and inviting space.

We find both joy and purpose in being involved with our community through sponsoring and participating in local events, donating to worthy causes, providing career opportunities, and simply spreading goodwill.
