Welcome to the new MAZON.org

Overview

One in four military families struggles with food insecurity. They serve this country, and this country is failing them. Basic housing allowances are counted as income, disqualifying families from the benefits they need and deserve. MAZON leads the anti-hunger field in raising up this vulnerable population for policymakers and the public alike.

Key Stats

Food pantries
operate on or near every military base in the U.S.
24% of military spouses
are unemployed. This was true even before the COVID-19 crisis.
1/3 of military children
at Department of Defense-run schools are eligible for free or reduced-price meals.
Tens of thousands
of military families are ineligible for SNAP because their Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is counted as income.
