Free ways to support charity Mary's Meals when you shop

Did you know you can help us reach hungry children with our nutritious school meals while you shop – at no extra cost to you? 

There are lots of popular retailers where you can choose to turn your everyday online shopping into free donations for Mary’s Meals. Here are some of the ways you can make the most of your shopping… 

Charity cashback sites for meals 

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

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 charity cashback sites we are registered with…

1. Sign up to Easyfundraising for free and select Mary’s Meals as your chosen charity.
2. Before buying anything online, visit the Easyfundraising website to see if the retailer is listed. (If you download the app, a pop up will appear on participating websites so you don’t even need to check.)
3. If they are, shop via Easyfundraising!
4. Once you make a purchase, your retailer will make a donation to Mary’s Meals to say, ‘thank you’. And we thank you too! 

TopCashback 

1. Create a TopCashback account.
2. Before buying anything online, visit the TopCashback website to see if the retailer is listed.
3. If they are, shop via TopCashback.

Other ways you could support our charity without donating money

Donate your eBay profits 

Did you know, if you sell on eBay, you can donate some of your profits to Mary’s Meals? Here’s how: 

1. Look for “Donate a portion to charity” when you list your item, select Mary’s Meals and decide what percentage of your sale you would like to donate.
2. Sell your items and ship to your buyers as usual. No additional steps or paperwork are required.
3. We will automatically receive your donation after your item has sold and been paid for. eBay will also credit you an equal percentage of your final value fees! 

It only costs 10p per meal to feed a child with Mary’s Meals so any donation, no matter the size, can make a big difference to hungry children around the world.

Thank you for choosing to make your shopping count. If you’d like to give directly, you can donate through one of our current campaigns today.
