Join us!

MAZON offers many different ways to engage with us in our work to end hunger. Opportunities exist for individuals and synagogues to get involved and make a difference.

Legislative Meeting Toolkit

You can play an important part by building on relationships with your elected officials and speaking out for positive change.

MAZON Hunger Shabbat

Shabbat is a prime opportunity to speak about the Jewish imperative to end hunger and the ways we can protect federal nutrition safety net programs

Educational Resources

At any age or grade level, students can learn about the issue of hunger and its causes, explore the Jewish values of justice and responsibility for others, and take action to make a difference. Virtual options available!

Jewish Holidays

Jewish holidays are full of meaningful ritual and spirituality, and they are also a guide to ethical living. MAZON has created projects that connect hunger-related education and advocacy with Jewish holidays.

A MAZON Walk To End Hunger is an important way to raise awareness about hunger in your community as well as raise much needed funds to support the efforts of MAZON.
