Before putting food on the table, you need to gather people around it. For almost 40 years, MAZON has been engaging in conversations with a diverse array of policymakers, partners, and other stakeholders who are united in a shared commitment to end hunger. Join MAZON for our upcoming in-person and virtual events.
In the summer of 2021, longtime MAZON supporter Steve Goode set out on a 16,000-mile, 75-day motorcycle adventure to visit one Jewish deli in nearly every state. The Great American Deli Schlep offered an exciting opportunity for the Jewish and broader communities nationwide to learn more about MAZON, the issue of hunger in America, and to bring together our supporters to enjoy a delicious meal from a deli in their state.
Your gift to the Great American Deli Schlep will support MAZON's pursuit of a future where everyone has a seat at the table and enough food to eat.
