Meals

To be hungry as a child means your tummy hurts, which means you can’t focus on your lessons at school, or your body isn’t healthy enough to fight off illness, or you shiver a lot because you are cold, or you feel embarrassed when your friends snack or talk about dinner. And whatever the reason your family is struggling, when you are 6, there is not much you can do about it. That’s why the help has to be ready, and in place for the precise moment that someone finds out that you need help.

St Marks Meals Boxes are stored in more than 70 schools, children’s centres and community hubs across Milton Keynes. As soon as a teacher or other professional realises that a child will not eat dinner that night, they can invite a family to choose from a selection of delicious dinner options. And if they need dinner again tomorrow night, they can…cos no child should go to bed hungry.

Join the team! Follow us on the socials, sign up to our newsletter, raise some money, donate if you can…and together we could end child hunger in Milton Keynes.
