Founded in 1985, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is the only national Jewish nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to preventing and alleviating hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds. It is essential to educate Jewish youth as they become our future leaders. Part of MAZON’S mission is to raise the consciousness of the Jewish community regarding its obligation to provide and advocate for people who are in need. The MAZON Tzedakah project is designed to engage, inspire and educate students as participants in hunger relief advocacy.

Volunteer opportunities: For your mitzvah project you can have a bake sale. Send proceeds to MAZON as tzedakah, and donate any leftover goods to your local food bank or food pantry. As a community service you can donate canned goods for a canned food sale; proceeds can be sent to MAZON, and the canned food donated to a local food bank or food pantry. Collect books and then sell the books to benefit MAZON.
