Community Engagement
Rooted in our shared Jewish values of tzedek (pursuing justice) and b’tselem Elohim (respecting the inherent dignity of every person), MAZON empowers individuals and communities to address the unjust systems that allow hunger to persist.
Programs
Opportunities to Get Involved
We invite you — as an educator, clergy member, community leader, or individual — to join us in speaking truth to power and creating what we know is possible: systems built on wisdom, compassion, mutual support, and meaningful opportunity.
Synagogue and School Partnerships
MAZON’s synagogue and school partners play a vital role in raising awareness about the reality of hunger.

Volunteer with MAZON
The fight against hunger doesn’t only happen in Washington. It happens at Shabbat tables, on college campuses, in synagogue halls, and on neighborhood streets.
Community Engagement Materials
MAZON has created a suite of materials to help you engage your community about the realities of hunger in America and how we work together to end it. Our materials aim to connect hunger-related education and advocacy with a variety of Jewish holidays.
Host a Challah Bake
Baking challah is an act of community. Baking it for Challah for Hunger turns that community into a force for change. Gather your friends, your congregation, or your campus and host a bake — all proceeds support the fight to end hunger.
Request a Speaker
Bring the fight against hunger into your congregation, classroom, and community. MAZON provides ready-to-use materials, speaker support, program guidance, and more to help turn values into action.
No One Deserves to Go Hungry Campaign
We invited people across the U.S. to send postcards to the U.S. Department of Agriculture urging protection for basic needs programs.
Each postcard represented 1,000 people experiencing food insecurity, with the goal of collecting 47,000 postcards. Thousands of participants ordered, wrote, and returned postcards as part of this collective action, helping elevate the voices of individuals and communities concerned about hunger and federal policy.
