Mary’s Meals provides life-changing meals to some of the world’s poorest children every day
they attend school. There are many different ways you can help – by donating your time, money, skills, and prayers.
Ellen Miller, co-chair for Christ Our Life Conference in Des Moines, IA, is shown here helping spread the word about Mary's Meals.
Consider inviting Ellen to your parish or school to share her stories about how our little "Acts of Love" can make a difference!
We are a no-frills charity with a simple idea that works: by providing one good meal in a place of learning, children are drawn into the classroom where they can receive an education that could one day free them from poverty. Mary’s Meals provides nutritious school meals to 2,429,182 children in 18 countries every school day.
Mary’s Meals is named after Mary, the mother of Jesus, who brought up her own child in poverty. We consist of respect and reach out to people of all faiths and of none.
Our vision is that every child receives one daily meal in their place of education. Working together, we believe that can be achieved in this world of plenty. The average worldwide cost for us to feed a child for a whole school year is just $25.20. Wherever possible, Mary's Meals uses locally grown food to support the local economy. We work hard to keep our running costs low and to ensure that at least 93% of donations go on our charitable work. This is only possible since most of our work is done by an ARMY OF VOLUNTEERS.
