MARTHA’S MISSION: Feeding East Alabama BY ANN CIPPERLY
When Martha Henk was growing up in the Congo with her missionary parents, she developed a heart of caring at an early age, seeing children with enlarged stomachs and hair turned red from lack of nutrition. At the time, she never dreamed the compassion she felt would one day be a calling. Since 1995, Martha has served as the executive director of the Food Bank of East Alabama as it has expanded from serving several thousand to 57,200 individuals in food-insecure households, with 16,480 of those being children. Martha’s parents, Wally and Ruth Henk, were missionaries in the Congo for 17 years and were the biggest influence on her life. She grew up watching her parents’ commitment to helping people in need. While childhood was filled with unusual experiences as her family traveled throughout Africa, at times her family faced danger. Bands of soldiers would take over the mission station and hold them at gunpoint. Soldiers ransacked their home and would take what they wanted. When Martha was 16 years old, she and her family were evacuated from the Congo under gunfire. Snipers at the airport fired at them as they waited for the United Nations plane. They moved from Africa to Minnesota where her father served as a minister. Photos courtesy of FoodBank After Martha married, she lived in Delaware a few years where her three children were born. Her family moved to Auburn in 1982, with her parents and sister soon following. Martha had worked five years with the Presbyterian Community Ministries when MAIN OFFICE 215 SOUTH 9TH STREET OPELIKA, AL 36801 (334) 737 - 3655 SMITHS STATION SATELLITE OFFICE 2336 LEE ROAD 430, STE. 140 SMITHS STATION, AL 36877 (334) 664 - 0296 AUBURN SATELLITE OFFICE 1266 MALL PARKWAY AUBURN, AL 36830 (334) 737 - 7298 L E E C O U N T Y R E V E N U E C O M M I S S I O N E R .
