MAZON, which means "food" or "sustenance" in Hebrew, practices and promotes a multifaceted 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 holistic approach - executed through three interrelated strategies of education & advocacy, partnership grant-making and strategic initiatives - symbolizes its desire to embody twin Jewish ideals: tzedakah and tikkun olam.
MAZON has offices in Los Angeles, California (headquarters) and Washington, D.C.
