20th Anniversary events
It’s incredible to think this journey of ours began in 2002 when we served our first school meals to 200 children in a school in Malawi.
Since then, thanks to your kindness and support, our mission has continued to grow. Today, more than 2,279,941 children will eat Mary’s Meals at school!

Celebrate with us
Over the coming weeks, we are holding a series of events in communities across the UK.

Help create something special
To mark our anniversary, we want to decorate The Shed in Dalmally with bunting made by supporters across the UK.
Simply download and print off this sheet to design your own Mary’s Meals bunting.
Your bunting can represent what Mary’s Meals means to you, any special memories you have or anything else – the only limit is your imagination!
Once you have created your design, please send it to Freepost, MARY'S MEALS.
To see the decorated bunting hanging where our work began, sign up to receive our emails.
