Welcome to our new Director of Impact Partnerships

We are delighted to welcome Caroline to Mary’s Meals Canada as our new Director of Impact Partnerships. She brings more than a decade of experience in corporate and major partnership fundraising within mission-driven organizations, along with a deep commitment to building meaningful, lasting relationships.

Most recently, Caroline served as Director of Corporate Partnerships at Habitat for Humanity Greater Toronto Area, where she led a $3.5M annual corporate and foundations portfolio and contributed to a broader $6.1M fund development goal. In addition to stewarding significant partnerships, she mentored a team of fundraising professionals with a focus on deepening engagement and delivering measurable impact. Earlier in her career at Plan International Canada, she developed partnerships that supported global programs in education, food security, water and sanitation, and women and child health.

Caroline is a relational and values-driven fundraiser at heart. She is especially inspired by the simplicity and dignity of the Mary’s Meals mission — that a daily meal in a place of education can unlock learning and hope for children who need it most. The organization’s commitment to humility, responsible stewardship, and serving the most vulnerable resonates strongly with her own values. She is passionate about aligning her professional experience with a mission that nourishes children, strengthens communities, and opens the door to opportunity through education.

Outside of her professional life, Caroline treasures time with her loving husband, two remarkable daughters, two wonderful sons-in-law, and a grandson who brings immense joy to her family. Family is central to who she is, and it naturally shapes the way she sees the mission of Mary’s Meals — with the conviction that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and flourish.

We look forward to the leadership, warmth, and dedication Caroline will bring, and we are excited for colleagues across the global Mary’s Meals family to get to know her in the months ahead.

How long have you been with Mary’s Meals?

Since March 2, 2026.

Why did you choose to work with Mary’s Meals?

Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to building partnerships that create meaningful and measurable impact. I chose Mary’s Meals because of the beautiful simplicity and power of its mission - that a daily meal in a place of learning can unlock a child’s potential and transform communities.

Food security and education are foundational to human dignity. No child should have to choose between hunger and learning. I am humbled to be part of a global movement that not only serves children in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities, but also invites all of us here at home to be part of something greater than ourselves.

I am inspired to contribute to a mission where nourishment opens the door to learning and learning opens the door to possibility.

Fun Fact?

I love to cook and cherish our family traditions. Every year we make homemade tomato sauce, sausage, and cured meats together. Vegetable gardening is another passion of mine. There is something deeply satisfying about growing and sharing food with the people you love.

Welcome, Caroline to our Mary's Meals Canada family! We're so excited to have you join our team!
