"Mary's Meals is a series of lots of little acts of love. If you put all those acts of sacrifice together, it creates a beautiful thing" - Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, Mary's Meals Founder and CEO


At St. John’s Summer Program, our staff of high school and college students loves our young children who are so blessed to not experience real hunger.Knowing that there are children, the same age as our campers, who go to bed hungry at night, has ignited a desire to do more – to sponsor Chaone Primary School in Malawi, feeding those precious children for a year.


“Around the world, 61 million children are hungry and do not attend school. They work or beg in order to survive. By providing meals in schools, hungry children are encouraged to attend school and receive an education that may one day be their ladder out of poverty. For many of these children, this is also the only nutritious meal they will receive that day.”


Today, Marys Meals feeds more than 1.2 million children around the world, including 30% of Malawi’s entire elementary school population.


Please consider supporting us in this effort to share our love with the children of Malawi. Just $19.50 feeds one child for an entire school year- a simple act of love that will give hope to some of the world’s most vulnerable children.


Please consider joining us in this work of mercy and helping us reach our goal!Every dollar helps!


With deep gratitude,

St. John’s Summer Program Staff 2018

Thanks to everyone who helped us surpass our goal of raising enough money to feed the 1,088 children at Chaone Primary School for an entire year! With lots of help from our instructors and our St. John's Summer Program families, we've almost raised $25,000!!! We started big by raising $8,500 through a mulch sale and a drive-thru chicken dinner fundraiser, then fell into a lull while getting camp kicked off, but then came on strong with our "What are you willing to give up to feed a child" challenge, the camp penny wars challenge and lots of generous donations to meet our goal in less than five months and, most importantly, before camp ended! Our staff is proud and feel a special love for these beautiful children living half way around the world from us. Thank you for joining us in this powerful mission! God bless!

Thank you to all of our donors! We are almost 1/3 of the way to our goal and summer hasn't even begun. This weekend we wrapped up our first big fundraiser - a mulch sale. With lots of help, we delivered nearly 4,000 bags of mulch (that's five tractor trailers loaded with mulch!), earning $6,000 for Mary's Meals! We have a number of upcoming fundraisers and welcome your support. It's easy to love the children in front of you. It's just as important to love the ones we can't see! Join us in caring for and feeding the children at Chaone Primary School in Malawi! May God bless you!
