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.
Purim
Every year on Purim, we reflect on the powerful story of Esther — called on by her community and at great personal risk, she took the mantle of leadership and advocated to change the fate of those who were marginalized. In her spirit, we hope you will utilize MAZON’s Purim materials for your family or community celebrations and contact MAZON staff with any questions.
Send Purim E-Cards
Purim e-cards are a special way to honor your loved ones and celebrate together while helping MAZON fight hunger.
Purim Carnival Activity
With a nod to the traditional Purim mitzvah of Mishloach Manot (gifts of fruit), pass out MAZON’s stress-ball fruit while educating your community about the injustice of hunger.
Your community can help end hunger.
Many of us participate in Mishloach Manot and Matanot L'evyonim (gifts of food and charity) during the season of Purim. Please consider taking this one step further by fundraising for MAZON's work to change the systems and policies that allow hunger to persist.
Stay up to date on our news.
Stories
Sharing stories of people struggling with food insecurity is a powerful way to help your community better understand the realities of who is hungry in America today and why. MAZON’s This Is Hunger program includes stories that are ideal for sharing in sermons or Purim study sessions.
