Our vision is 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. $26.40 is all it costs for us to feed a child for a whole school year. That is only .13 cents a day. Currently, we are feeding over 1,838,859 million children a day in 19 countries. Our idea is a simple one that works. We provide one nutritious daily meal in a place of learning in order to attract chronically poor children into the classroom, where they receive an education that can, in the future, be their ladder out of poverty. Every child deserves an education and enough to eat.

Our work is mainly carried out by our wonderful army of Community Ambassadors who volunteer by contributing in all sorts of different ways. But we’re always in need of more help as the need is great! The more Community Ambassadors we can partner with, the more hungry children we can reach.

As a valued member of the Mary’s Meals family, you will play an active role in raising awareness and promoting our nationwide fundraising campaigns & initiatives.

• Hosting virtual community engagement events such as film screenings about Mary’s
Meals’ work.

"I chose to be a community ambassador at Mary's Meals Canada because their values and goals closely aligned with my own. Mary's Meals believes that every child deserves an education on a full stomach. This ensures each child is at their best and able to learn as much as they can. There might be many barriers to education, but Mary's Meals is doing their best to ensure food isn't one of them. Because of their transparent use of donations, and a mission statement that sets their organization apart, I am proud to represent Mary's Meals in my community!” - Atif, Community Ambassador, Ontario
