mission statement

Mazon Australia was established to work towards the prophetic vision of a world without hunger. We are guided by the Jewish traditions of tzedakah (acting justly) and tikkun olam (mending the world) to respond to those in need. We see access to a meal as a basic human right and recognise the paradigm shift required to create a world without hunger due to the complexities of this issue.

Our Mission is thus to:

• Work to end hunger and its causes. Those causes include poverty, homelessness, mental illness and a lack of opportunity;
  
• Make the concept of donating 3% of the cost of life cycle events to Mazon Australia a permanent tradition in Jewish life; and
  
• Educate people on these issues and advocate for other ways to end hunger and its causes.
