MAZON collaborates with diverse stakeholders to showcase what’s possible: a country built on compassion, mutual support, and meaningful opportunity. By reflecting on the world as it is, we create a vision of what it could be — one where those in need are supported, the powerful are held to account, and hunger is a distant memory.
Passover
Every year at Passover, we affirm our obligation to care for one another by proclaiming “Let all who are hungry come and eat.” Please join MAZON in making this call to action a reality by utilizing our Passover materials for your family or community celebrations and contact Paul Sherman, Outreach Manager, with any questions.
Send Passover E-Cards
Passover e-cards are a special way to honor your loved ones and celebrate together. A donation to MAZON helps us fight for a world in which no one faces hunger.
Watch Clergy Videos
We hope you will find comfort and inspiration, as we do, in video reflections from MAZON’s Jewish clergy partners. Please watch and share these videos, and consider showing them during your virtual seder to inspire others to join MAZON’s fight to end hunger.
Add Fifth Question to Your Seder
MAZON’s “Fifth Question” Haggadah insert brings a new reflection about hunger to your seder table. This year, join us in asking: When will the needs of those who are hungry come before the whims of the powerful?
Watch Congressional Videos
We are proud to share video reflections from MAZON’s partners in Congress, many of whom joined us for the 12th annual National Hunger Seder. We are gratified that so many elected officials share our commitment to ending hunger, and we will continue to work with them to ensure that no one goes hungry in this land of plenty.
Host a Hunger Seder
MAZON’s Hunger Seder Haggadah orients the entire seder experience around hunger. Use this resource with your family, and please contact us if you’d like to plan a community seder.

Your partnership allows MAZON to be the national Jewish voice dedicated to fighting hunger, particularly for those facing hunger whose struggles are too often over-looked, disregarded, or discounted. Together, we have made a commitment to shine a spotlight on those issues and populations where larger organizations and the government have yet to turn their focus.
Your support of MAZON’s Spotlight Fund furthers this work, allowing us to fight to end hunger among military families, veterans, Native Americans, single mothers, LGBTQ seniors, the people of Puerto Rico and the territories, and all who struggle. Your gift today strengthens this mission and helps to build a community dedicated to ending hunger for everyone. Join us.
