THIS YEAR, MORE THAN 5.8 MILLION CANADIANS WENT HUNGRY.
In 5782, you provided over 377,000 MEALS for these millions,
Canadians of all ages, ethnicities, faiths and abilities,
through Mazon Canada, the Jewish response to hunger.
Looking ahead to 5783, with FOOD COSTS UP 10% year over year,
cost of living soaring, and new refugees arriving every week,
Mazon is standing ready - determined to help.
THAT'S WHY, TO COMBAT THE INFLATION HUNGER CRISIS,
MAZON IS GUARANTEEING THAT 100% OF DONATIONS TO THIS CAMPAIGN
WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO FRONTLINE FOOD PROJECTS WITHIN 60 DAYS.

THE JEWISH RESPONSE
TO HUNGER
Over 5.8 million Canadians went hungry this year - and our food aid system struggles to support them.
MAZON Canada is a grassroots community foundation that feeds Canadians of all ages, ethnicities, faiths and abilities on behalf of the Jewish community by supporting front-line food projects across the country. We provide grants for food and equipment, and educate and advocate toward an end to hunger in Canada.
Past MAZON Board Member Talia Klein Leighton with a student participant from Toronto Foundation For Student Success.
"Thanks to support for the nutrition program at Lawrence Heights Middle School, students have been able to enjoy a healthy meal on a daily basis while at the same time learning the skills of preparing healthy food and why it’s so essential to their health and wellness. Thank you for your continued support of our students and communities."
