Mary’s Meals is a global initiative dedicated to alleviating child hunger through the establishment of school feeding programs in some of the world's most impoverished communities. Our core mission is to ensure that every child receives one daily meal in their place of education, helping to combat the harsh realities of extreme poverty.
Since its inception, Mary’s Meals has transformed the lives of millions of children worldwide. The organization began with a simple vision after a visit to Medjugorje in 1983, leading to a miraculous journey of compassion and action. Our work is rooted in celebrating the essence of Medjugorje, where love and faith converge to inspire people globally.
We warmly welcome pilgrims to Medjugorje, enhancing their spiritual journey with insights into our mission. If you’re visiting, we invite you to check our activities at the Blue Container and take part in our various events.
Engagement through prayer and community participation amplifies our mission. We encourage visitors to join our Fasting Initiative, which takes place every Wednesday and Friday, allowing individuals to connect through reflection and shared purpose. Additionally, volunteers play a vital role, helping to support our local team and foster enthusiasm among national affiliates.

Every month, we gather to pray, uniting the Mary’s Meals family across the globe. Our monthly prayer provides a space for personal reflection and collective trust in God's mercy, fostering a deep sense of community among our supporters.
We invite you to take part in our mission, whether through prayer, volunteering, or raising awareness in your own country. Many individuals become advocates for Mary’s Meals after their experiences in Medjugorje, helping us expand our reach and impact globally.
Whether you're planning a pilgrimage, seeking to learn more, or wanting to subscribe to our updates, engaging with Mary’s Meals offers various ways to contribute to the fight against child hunger. Together, we can forge a path toward ensuring that no child is deprived of the nourishment they need for a brighter future.
