”I enjoy going to work every day, working for the kids… Miss Martha’s there to save the day!” — Martha Mitchell

Martha Mitchell was recognized as the Best of the West of Spring 2025 for her longstanding dedication as a cook and mentor to the kids at Salvation Army’s Boys & Girls Club!

”Martha has been an employee of the Boys & Girls Club in Charleston since 2019. She serves as the cook and ensures that the children receive a hot meal each day. In addition, she is passionate about seeing her community on the Westside thrive and goes above and beyond to give of herself for the benefit of others. I have seen firsthand her willingness to reach into her own pocket (or pantry) and provide for the needs of a neighbor, without question or hesitation. Her commitment to the kids of the Club and the Westside community make her an ideal nominee for the Best of the West.” — Nominator
