Mary's Meals - A simple solution to world hunger that works

Our volunteers are involved in every aspect of Mary's Meals from advising us on organisational development to filling envelopes with our latest appeal letter. We always have a need for office, shop and warehouse volunteers.

Because of their dedication and hard work freely given, money donated to Mary's Meals goes a long way and that means we can assist even more of the world's poorest people.

Volunteer work in the UK
In the UK volunteers are engaged in a whole range of activities; sorting and packing donated clothing in our warehouses, serving in charity shops, assisting with admin and mail outs or driving vans.

Other volunteers organise appeals on behalf of Mary’s Meals by talking about the work in their parish, school, workplace or club.
