“You make a difference for us that’s equal to the actual food.

You provide a strong sense of normalcy.

When I first saw the bags and how healthy everything was, I admit that I cried.

Being able to make chili and have some fresh carrots and cucumber, and always have a little bit of onion and garlic is so normalizing.

I can't describe how much it helps.”

- Father, Hamilton Jewish Family Service

“Receiving the meal here isn't the only thing that touches my heart.
It’s the respect that comes with it.

It's not just food,
it's a place where I feel human.”

- a community member, La Maison Montréal

It’s easy to forget how far food aid can go.
It’s not just food.

It’s a chance for people to feel like themselves again.
To experience much-needed normalcy.

We are nearing Rosh HaShanah, the beginning of the Jewish year.

This holiday is also about much more than food.
It’s about new beginnings.

It’s about closing last year’s book and starting a new one.

Let’s give others the fresh start that they need.

Why we're feeling optimistic:

Last year was our biggest year yet:

We provided 216 (!!) food aid organizations with more than just meals:

We bought delivery trucks, fridges, freezers, kitchen appliances, a forklift and a whole greenhouse!

You know, things that last and make it easier to feed more people for cheaper.

All that while spending 83% of our budget directly on our mission.

But that’s not all...

We’re seeing a HUGE shift in the way hunger is talked about.

Before, headlines were about food bank shortages and school lunch programs.

Now, we’re finally seeing talk of root-cause solutions in the news.

People are starting to understand that the solutions we were using so far are just not sustainable.

That with prices going up, food donations are just not enough.

We need to give people an actual plan.

That’s why our new mission includes granting to organizations that work on long-term solutions for hunger.

Plus, we’re doing something that’s never been done before:

We’re starting the Jewish Hunger Network:

A collective of Jewish organizations like shuls, schools and JCCs, working together to fight hunger within and beyond our community.

We're bringing Chutzpah to the national conversation on behalf of Jews everywhere.

But we can't speak for our people without our people behind us.

Every dollar counts as we raise funds for our next round of frontline grants.

Start your 5787 with a Mitzvah and donate now - to give Tzedakah (charity) today and work towards Tzedek (justice) tomorrow.

The numbers speak for themselves: this hunger crisis is deeply racialized.

The highest percentage of individuals living in food-insecure households across Canada in 2024 was Black individuals (46.7%) and Indigenous Peoples living off-reserve (39.9%).

Black, Indigenous, and other racialized communities face food insecurity at twice the rate of white households. The situation for Indigenous communities is likely even worse given the lack of representation of people living on First Nations reserves and some remote Northern communities.

Why? Because of long-standing systems of colonialism, anti-Black racism, disinvestment, and exclusion from land, housing, and economic opportunity.

Fighting hunger means fighting racial injustice, because food justice IS racial injustice.

Back in biblical times, building (or rebuilding) the temple, the holy place of worship, was seen as a great mitzvah and insurmountable honor.

However, the Talmud clarifies that nothing is more important than feeding your neighbors.

This idea stems from the emphasis on acts of kindness and compassion in Jewish tradition, which often prioritize direct service to others over material development or gain.

Mazon Canada is looking for Canadian Jewish artists to support our work fighting hunger!

The committee will use the arts to achieve two goals:

-Get people talking about hunger, poverty, Mazon and all the great work we do, empowering Jews across Canada to learn more about food insecurity.
-Raise money through the arts that we can spend on feeding hungry Canadians.

How will it work?
Great question! We expect members to commit 5-6 hours per month to committee responsibilities, including attending meetings, liaising with Mazon staff, conceptualizing artistic projects, and coordinating their completion.

What will the projects be?
We have ideas, but ultimately want to support committee members to pursue projects you are excited about. Some of our ideas include:

-Mazon merch
-Art auctions
-Concert fundraisers
-Zine creation
and more!
