How you can help
Give your time to change the lives of hungry children around the world. By joining our volunteering movement, you can use your skills and passion to make a positive difference.
Our work is only possible because of our many dedicated volunteers across the globe – from people in Canada who raise awareness to those in the countries we serve who rise early to cook nutritious meals for their children.
If you would like to discuss volunteering with Mary's Meals in more detail, please phone 855-702-0330 or email volunteer.canada@marysmeals.org.

We'd love to have you join us.
Have skills to share?
If you have skills or experience that could help strengthen our work in Canada, we’d love to hear from you. From communications and design to translation, event support, administration, professional advice and more, volunteers bring valuable expertise that helps us grow.
Our needs are always evolving. If you don’t see a current opportunity that feels like the right fit, please reach out and tell us a little about yourself.

Volunteering overseas
Please note, we rely on local volunteer cooks to ensure children receive much-needed meals every school day, we cannot offer opportunities to volunteer overseas at the schools where our meals are served.
Mary’s Meals is owned and run by local communities, and this is a very deliberate feature of our working model. Our experience is that equal, trusting partnerships between schools, communities and Mary’s Meals are essential to underpin effective school feeding operations and community commitment is key to the long-term success and sustainability of our programme.
