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.
Fight Hunger this Purim
Purim e-cards are a a meaningful way to fulfill the mitzvah of matanot l’evyonim, helping the needy, while helping MAZON fight hunger.
Download Purim graphics to share with communiities on social media and your synagogue’s mailings or virtual newsletters!
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.

Take Action
Despite rising food prices and financial uncertainty plaguing low-income American families, President Trump and Republicans in both chambers of Congress enacted a deeply problematic law, including an estimated $187 billion cut from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Join MAZON in urging your Members of Congress to safeguard the interests of American families by reversing this destructive policy, influencing its implementation, and rejecting further cuts to SNAP and other basic needs programs.
The Hunger Museum™
The Hunger Museum™ tells the fascinating story of the last 100+ years of hunger and anti-hunger public policy in the United States. Because it’s completely virtual, you can engage with our immersive and interactive exhibits anytime, from anywhere, to learn about the political, economic, and cultural story of the expansion and dismantling of the American social safety net. Explore the galleries, stay awhile at the SNAP Café, and leave your wish for a more just world at the Wishing Tree.
