Princess Marie became Patron of DanChurchAid in 2011. DanChurchAid “supports the poorest of the world in their struggle for a dignified life and helps those whose lives are threatened. We provide emergency relief in disaster-stricken areas and long-term development assistance in poor regions – to create a more equitable and sustainable world.” It makes sense then that each copy sold of the “Food with Respect” cookbook will trigger a donation to DanChurchAid.

Princess Marie attends their Christmas event each year. She will attend the 2019 event later this week. The event aims to be a bring together all of the association’s partners and thank them for their hard work.
