2025 MCFL Annual Mother's Day Fundraising Dinner - Holyoke, MA

At our Mother's Day Dinner, you’ll hear firsthand from Bishop W.C. Martin and his wife, Donna how their faith and determination transformed not just their own family but an entire community. Their remarkable adoption story began in 1997 when they adopted two children. That decision sparked a movement in their church, leading their small community to adopt 77 children out of foster care. Bishop Martin and Donna are sought-after speakers, traveling across the country to lead keynotes, seminars, and sessions on topics such as adoption, fostering, and community building. Their mission is to inspire Christians to embrace the care of orphans, ensuring that every child finds a loving home.
Donna Martin’s story, in particular, reveals the power of a mother’s love to create lasting change. As Bishop Martin has said, "Not everyone can adopt, but everyone can do something."
