Mission
Founded in 1985, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is a national agency that allocates donations from the Jewish community to prevent and alleviate hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds. Each year, MAZON grants over $4 million to more than 300 carefully screened hunger-relief agencies, including emergency food providers, food banks, multi-service organizations and advocacy groups that seek long-term solutions to the hunger problem. MAZON's mission is to educate and raise the consciousness of the Jewish community regarding its obligation to alleviate hunger and its causes; to make the concept of donating 3% of the cost of life cycle events to MAZON a permanent tradition in Jewish life; and to provide for people who are hungry.
