The April/May 2010 donation will be to Mazon
MAZON
Founded in 1985, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is the only national Jewish nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to preventing and alleviating hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds.
MAZON (“food” in Hebrew) believes its dual purpose is to provide for those who are hungry today and to address the systemic causes of hunger and poverty, both domestically and globally. Although grants are provided to many organizations serving the Jewish poor, in keeping with the best of Jewish tradition MAZON believes it is important to respond to all who are in need.
Our Mission
To educate and raise the consciousness of the Jewish community regarding its obligation to alleviate hunger and its causes;
To make donating a portion of the cost of life cycle events (historically at least 3%) to MAZON a permanent tradition in Jewish life; and
To provide for people who are hungry while at the same time advocating for other ways to end hunger and its causes.
