MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger |
Mission Statement:
MAZON is a vehicle through which American Jews can respond to the tragedy of hunger in the United States and abroad. Its dual purpose is to help those who are hungry today and to alleviate the poverty that causes hunger. MAZON offers grants to non-profit organizations that provide assistance to hungry people or which seek effective, long-term solutions to the problems of hunger; it also assists students in finding volunteer opportunities with soup kitchens, pantries, and anti-hunger coalitions in their area. MAZON encourages students to organize campus-wide appeals during Pesach and Yom Kippur to benefit MAZON, and to contribute 3% of the cost of simchas, Shabbat dinners, and other food-based gatherings to benefit the hungry.
