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.
