Mary's Meals Offaly’s latest fundraiser is under way!

It’s a raffle (at only €5 a ticket) for a fabulous outdoor room with a value of €4,200 which was very kindly donated by Mervyn Thomas of Willow Garden Buildings based at Ross, Tullamore where they are manufactured.

Tickets are also available online at idonate.ie (www.idonate.ie/raffle/marysmealsoffallyoutdoorroomf).

The draw for this amazing prize is on Tuesday, September 8, only one month away.

Mary's Meals feeds hungry children at school in 16 of some of the world’s poorest countries at a cost of only €22 per child for a school year or 11 cent for each nutritious meal. This can only happen as most of the work is carried out by thousands of volunteers.

It all began in 2002 when Mary's Meals fed 200 children in Malawi that year. Now 24 years later and that number has risen to more than 3 million (3,011,060 to be exact) children being fed every school day.

This ensures that not only are the kids getting a lifesaving and nourishing meal each day but also an education which will, take them out of the horrible cycle of poverty forever.

Mary's Meals guarantee that at least 93 cent in every €1 goes directly towards the work of feeding the children.

Paul Galvin of Mary’s Meals Offaly said people have been so incredibly generous in giving to the work of the charity sinc eit began in 2019. In that time they have literally fed thousands of hungry children.
