How to become a Partner
|
|
Traditionally, synagogues wishing to affiliate as MAZON partners implement the following:
- Ask your board of directors to pass a resolution making your congregation a “MAZON partner.”

- Publicize your congregation's MAZON partnership in your synagogue newsletter and local press.

- Appoint a MAZON liaison as the link between your synagogue and MAZON. This liaison meets informally with families preparing for a simcha and with other groups planning synagogue functions. General responsibilities include providing materials and answering questions about MAZON.
- Incorporate MAZON’s anti-hunger message into your synagogue holiday celebrations. Encourage your synagogue to participate in MAZON’s biannual campaigns – High Holy Days and Passover -- to collect food for local charities and funds for MAZON.

- Add a 3% surcharge to all synagogue events where food is served. Click here for more information about MAZON’s 3% concept.
- If your synagogue has a standard facilities rental agreement, consider adding a "MAZON clause" suggesting that 3% of the cost of the celebration be donated to MAZON.
All MAZON partner synagogues receive MAZON's semi-annual newsletters, progress reports on MAZON’s work and other timely hunger- and social justice-related information.
The above is simply a list of suggested participation guidelines. Partnership with MAZON is entirely voluntary and, once established, does not obligate the congregation financially or administratively.
