ON ALL OTHER NIGHTS IT IS RUDE
TO BRING DINNER GUESTS WITHOUT ASKING OUR HOST.
WHY IS THIS NIGHT DIFFERENT?
Every Passover, we read aloud from the Haggadah: "Let all who are hungry come and eat."
In keeping with this principle, Mazon's DAYENU Program lets you symbolically invite the hungry to share in the Passover feast by providing meals to hungry people across Canada.
Though your host may not be expecting them, your symbolic guests are anything but uninvited. They recieved their invitation last year, and the year before, and the year before that.
Their invitation is open-ended, spanning centuries.
As we gather together for Passover -- many of us for the first time in years -- heed the Haggadah and honour your host by inviting the hungry to the Seder table with the DAYENU Program.
WITH YOUR GIFT, YOU GET:
A PRINTED CARD or ECARD

YOUR DONATION
This year, even as we gather overjoyed and reunited around the Seder table, too many of our fellow Canadians are still starving. For almost a decade, 1 in 6 families have struggled to put food on the table. That's 5.8 million people, hungry in this land of plenty.
MAZON Canada is a grassroots community foundation that feeds both Jewish and non-Jewish Canadians in need by supporting food projects across the Canada - including food banks, school nutrition programs, hot meals at shelters, community gardens and more.
We do this work year round on behalf of our community, and on Passover so that "all who are hungry [may] come and eat."
