We feed more than 3 million children every school day across 16 countries.
Mary's Meals provides life-changing school meals to children living in some of the world's poorest communities. The promise of a daily meal attracts hungry children to the classroom, where they can gain an education and hope for a brighter future.
It costs just $25.20 to feed a child for an entire school year. Together, we can reach the next hungry child.
Join us at an upcoming Iowa event and become part of the story.
