About us
MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is a national nonprofit organization working to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel. MAZON, which means “food” or “sustenance” in Hebrew, was the first national organization to rally the American Jewish community around the issue of hunger, and remains the only national Jewish organization dedicated exclusively to that same cause. MAZON works to ensure that hungry people have access to the resources they need to survive while simultaneously striving to develop and advance long-term solutions that will end hunger once and for all. The three interrelated strategies we employ – advocacy & education, partnership grants and strategic initiatives – form the foundation for our holistic approach and symbolize our desire to embody the Jewish ideals: tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (healing the world).

On this devastating anniversary, when our hearts are breaking, we continue to pray for the safety of our friends, families, partners, and all those who are fighting to make the region more peaceful, safe, and food secure. We wish you a Shana Yoter Tova — a better year ahead, one filled with peace, health, and safety for all.

This week we had planned to share a lovely, heartfelt Shana Tova card from all of us at MAZON. And then we started getting news from Israel. In this incredibly difficult moment, when so many of us are watching with fear in our hearts, we wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts as we all are filled with renewed anxiety. We hope if you have people in Israel and the broader region, they’re safe, and that they remain safe and secure. So we’re wishing you, this year, a Shana Yoter Tova – a better year, one filled with peace and safety for all.

We love when people SPEAK UP! We're excited to read Stacey Abrams' new children's book about the inequity of school lunch debt, and how everyone deserves to eat. It's never to early too discuss action, advocacy, and how we can work together to #MakeHungerHistory https://lnkd.in/evGzpQbH

"SNAP increases demand for farm products, which then puts more money in the pockets of producers who then spend that cash on goods and services of their choosing, and so on. That’s a win/win cycle for everyone." Check out this op-ed on the importance of SNAP in the Farm Bill from MAZON volunteer, Ray Russolillo, in Asheville Citizen-Times https://lnkd.in/erQi3KhR
