MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger

Help Those Less Fortunate

The goal of MAZON’s “The Corners of Our Fields” campaign is to raise money for MAZON’s work in your community and beyond, and to collect food for local charities. Critical to the success of this effort is promoting an understanding that donations of both food (to a local charity) and money (to MAZON) are crucial to finding a long-term solution to the hunger crisis. Download the donation form and help provide nutrition to those who are hungry.

A percentage of the money Temple Jeremiah receives for its programs goes directly to MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger. In addition, Temple Jeremiah joins congregations and organizations across the country asking people to generously donate to this worthwhile organization. Temple Jeremiah annually receives thanks from MAZON for its donations of food and toiletry items during Sisterhood's High Holy Day Food Drive.

Since 1985, MAZON has provided food, help and hope to hungry people of all faiths and backgrounds. Donations from the Jewish community are allocated to the most effective hunger relief organizations in the U.S., Israel and poor countries worldwide.

MAZON was founded to build a bridge between Jews who enjoy the blessings of abundance and the millions of children and adults who are hungry or live at the edge of hunger each day. This includes 33 million Americans. Since its founding, MAZON has granted more than $30 million to emergency food providers, food banks, advocacy groups which seek long-term solutions to hunger and groups providing multiple services to low-income individuals and families.

Partner synagogues encourage congregants to donate 3 percent of the cost of their life-cycle celebrations to MAZON. More than 75,000 Jews donate to MAZON's hunger relief efforts annually.
