Mary's Meals Canada

Mary’s Meals is a global movement supported by people from all walks of life. We are united by our shared vision of providing a daily meal in a place of education to every child who needs it. Ours is not a movement that divides rich from poor, or giver from receiver. Every contribution is equally valued, from cash donations that buy the food, to the time given to cook and serve the meals within impoverished communities. Nearly every part of our work depends on unpaid volunteers and it is through them that our movement grows.

Mary’s Meals provides one good meal to some of the world’s poorest children every school day. These life-changing meals attract hungry children into the classroom. It fills their empty bellies so they have the energy and opportunity to learn and gives them the chance of a brighter future. The meals also support families struggling to feed their children while boosting the country’s wider economy. Our school feeding programs are owned and run by community volunteers in the countries where we provide food. For example, there are over 80,000 volunteers in Malawi who take turns to prepare, cook and serve the daily meal in each school.
