Email & Supporter Communications Coordinator
Our Vision
That every child receives one daily meal in their place of education and that all those who have more than they need, share with those who lack even the most basic things.
Our Mission
To enable people to offer their money, goods, skills, time, or prayer, and through this involvement, provide the most effective help to those suffering the effects of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest communities.
Our Values
Confidence in the innate goodness of people – respect for the dignity of every human being and family life – good stewardship of resources entrusted to us.
We believe that every child has the right to a childhood free from poverty and hunger, where they can enjoy a daily meal and go to school. But sadly, in the countries where we work, climate shocks, conflict, and extreme poverty mean that hope is a distant reality for too many children.
The life-changing meals we server attract hungry children into the classroom. Food fills their empty bellies, so they have the energy and opportunity to learn, giving them the chance of a brighter future. The meals also support families struggling to feed their children while boosting the country’s wider economy.
Mary's Meals is now feeding over 3 million of the world’s poorest children every day they attend school. It costs just $25.20 to feed a child for a whole year.
Mary’s Meals USA
Mary’s Meals USA raises awareness and funds to support school feeding programs in some of the world’s poorest countries, where hunger and poverty prevent children from getting an education. Mary’s Meals USA’s headquarters is located in Bloomfield, New Jersey.
