Challah For Hunger

Challah for Hunger offers a simple model: combining the beloved tradition of baking challah with philanthropy, education, and advocacy.  From established chapters to one-off bakes, we grow social justice leaders immersed in the reality of hunger and the commitment to create long-term solutions.

A History of Challah for Hunger: A Look Back

Since 2004, Challah for Hunger chapters across the country have engaged thousands of college students, raising over $2 million for anti-hunger organizations and working with organizations like MAZON to build visibility for the issue of college hunger. Together, MAZON, Challah for Hunger, and a wide array of anti-hunger partners built a robust policy response to college hunger at the state and federal levels.

Where We’re Going

MAZON is now the home for the Challah for Hunger program. Established college chapters and community groups alike have access to the full spectrum of MAZON’s resources and educational programming, including The Hunger Museum and This Is Hunger, to help them build and grow. Through the model of baking for a purpose, we work with Challah for Hunger students and communities to grow their advocacy skills, together advancing public policies that seek to end hunger and its causes.
