Mazon:

It’s Yom Kippur.  You and your family have just fasted for the day.  Think about taking the money you would have spent on food for this day and make a donation to Mazon to help feed those who go hungry every day.

Mazon is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing and alleviating hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds. Since its founding in 1985, MAZON, which means “food” or “sustenance” in Hebrew, has been the only national Jewish organization dedicated exclusively to fighting hunger. MAZON practices and promotes a multi-faceted approach to hunger relief, recognizing the importance of responding to hungry peoples’ immediate need for nutrition and sustenance while also working to advance long-term solutions. This approach symbolizes our desire to embody twin Jewish ideals: tzedakah and tikkun olam.

You  can make a donation three different ways:

• Online with credit card or e-check at http://www.mazon.org/donate/
• By Phone at 1-800-813-0557
