There are several ways that we can end hunger, but we have to think big and focus on bold policies. Please join us in action.
Take Action
Reject Cruel Budget Cuts to SNAP
Despite rising food prices and economic uncertainty plaguing millions of low-income American families, Republicans in Congress are proposing budget cuts that would hurt most people while extending and expanding tax breaks for businesses and the wealthy. Please join MAZON in calling on Members of Congress to reject cuts to SNAP and other federal nutrition assistance programs.
Send a Postcard to Protect Basic Needs
We’re launching a national postcard campaign to flood the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with messages demanding protection for basic needs programs that help our neighbors put food on the table.
Each postcard will represent 1,000 people experiencing hunger. Our goal: 47,000 postcards delivered to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins with a simple message: No one deserves to go hungry. No exceptions.
Challah for Hunger™
This program employs an innovative philanthropic model of bringing together groups around the tradition of baking and selling challah, donating the proceeds to the fight to end hunger locally and nationally. Challah for Hunger develops leaders committed to social justice, engages them in an understanding of the realities and complexities of hunger in America, and guides them to realize and actualize long-term solutions to end hunger.
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.
