The Mary’s Meals Online Shop 

If you’re looking for thoughtful charity gifts, we have a wonderful range available on our online shop. 

These include gift cards, priced at £15.90, that will feed a hungry child every school day for a year, a lovely 2023 calendar, Mary’s Meals aprons and a selection of digital gifts.  

Every gift made through our online shop helps us keep our promise to more than two children who eat Mary’s Meals every school day. 

There are also a number of ‘cashback’ sites that will make a donation to Mary’s Meals on your behalf every time you make an online purchase.

Instead of going directly to a shop, simply access your favourite retailers through a link from a cashback website. You will receive your item directly from the retailer, and you will also get some money from the cashback website. This is because retailers pay cashback sites for sending customers their way – retailers pass some of that payment on to you, and you can choose to donate it to us!

Here are the sites we are registered with…
