Who We Are

MAZON is a leading voice in the anti-hunger field. Guided by Jewish values, MAZON works for a future where hunger is no longer accepted or inevitable.

Overview

For over 40 years, MAZON has served as the collective Jewish response to hunger, transforming ancient communal values into a powerful voice for justice. By focusing on overlooked and high-risk populations, MAZON ensures that the most vulnerable among us have the resources necessary to put food on the table, expressing a deep-seated commitment to uplifting all people.

What We Do

Our Work

MAZON works to protect vital nutrition programs and illuminate the needs of overlooked populations. Rather than providing temporary fixes, MAZON drives systemic change by influencing public policy at the federal, state, and local levels. By investing in a nationwide network of advocates and demanding legislative accountability, we dismantle the systemic barriers to food security.

Focus Areas

Our Priorities

MAZON focuses its advocacy and resources on populations that are often overlooked by the national anti-hunger movement. Priorities include protecting SNAP, supporting military families, veterans, and single mothers, and addressing food insecurity among college students, LGBTQ+ older adults, transgender youth, and residents of Indian Country and Puerto Rico.
