What is Mazon Canada?Mazon is the Jewish response to hunger. Mazon works within and beyond our community to end hunger in Canada through grants to front-line food aid programs (food banks, school lunches, shelter dinners, community gardens, and more), and by mobilizing the Jewish community to address hunger's root causes through advocacy and education. With a presence in 90 Canadian towns and cities, Mazon’s work brings Jewish chesed to people of all ages, ethnicities, faiths and abilities across the country. Learn more about our work at our
website or on our
Instagram.
What is Artists for Mazon?Mazon Canada is looking for Canadian Jewish artists to support our work. 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!
