2013 ANNUAL REPORT

A LETTER FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
Dear Friends,
What does it mean to be a JEWISH response to hunger?
Does it mean that we strive to follow particular values and ideals, including tzedakah and tikkun olam? Does
it mean that we rally together to care for the most vulnerable in our midst? Does it mean that we feel a
rooted obligation to alleviate hunger?
Our response is certainly the aforementioned but also so much more. Over nearly three decades, our leaders
have defined and redefined what MAZON – and what a JEWISH response – is and means. Starting with our
founder, Leonard Fein, and continuing with each of our former Executive Directors, Irv Cramer, Susan Cramer
and Dr. Eric Shockman, our leaders have helped to shape the multifaceted organization that we are today.
Their accomplishments and dedication inspire us every day.
But also framing the JEWISH response is you. You are part of our network of almost 50,000 supporters,
partner synagogues, advocates and grantee partners who collectively allow us to be a JEWISH voice in
every community. We ask you where you are, and you always answer generously with “Hineni, here I am.”
Your support is the cornerstone of every advocacy win, every successful initiative and every grant we award.
Because of you, we’ve advocated to create meaningful changes in law and policies that protect the most
vulnerable among us. Because of you, we’ve addressed issues in the anti-hunger community that might
otherwise remain untouched. Because of you, we have a robust network of grantee partners that expand
our reach to communities across the country. All of our accomplishments are because of you. And you, too,
should be honored by them.
In the forthcoming pages, you’ll read inspiring stories of our devoted donors (page 10, 12 and 19), our
advocacy efforts (page 19), and the impact of our grantmaking (page 26). By working together, we will no
doubt transform how it is, into how it should be.
Justice, justice you shall pursue. -Deuteronomy 16:20

“Hunger is an
issue that
everyone can
get behind –
how can you
be on the
other side of
hunger?”
Sweet Honey Tzedakah
The Brandeis Hillel Day School website lists
Ometz Lev (Integrity), Chesed (Kindness) and
Tikkun Olam (Service) as core values. As we’ve
gotten to know them the last few years, it’s
clear that they are a community that
embodies these qualities.
Three years ago, in the days leading up to Rosh
Hashanah, the Parent Association at Brandeis
Hillel sampled apples and honey in the school
lobby, which was very well-received. “One
parent asked if we were selling the honey, and
we thought we should be – it would be a festive
fundraiser for tzedakah. So the next year we did,”
Jacqueline Shelton-Miller, Brandeis Parent and
Parent Association Honey Sale Chair, tells us.
“At this time of plenty, when we’re getting together
with family and friends to bring in the New Year
6 | mazon.org
and to celebrate, we have a perfect opportunity to
think about people who aren’t as fortunate, who
aren’t sitting at our table and who might not even
have enough to eat.”
Brandeis Hillel started selling Marshall’s Farm
Honey and Irving’s Premium Honey Cakes (both
local to San Francisco) and the sales have been
tremendously successful. In just two short years,
they have raised over $7,000 for MAZON - truly
making it “A Sweet Year” for all.
Brandeis Hillel Day School is an independent
co-educational school for students in grades K-8
on two campuses – San Francisco and San Rafael
(Marin County). Their mission is to serve the Jewish
community by providing children with an outstanding
academic program in general and Judaic studies within
a dynamic and diverse Jewish cultural environment.
OUR DONORS
We would like to thank our donors for their incredible
support last year. Your generosity makes our work possible.

D O N OR STORY
Mazel tov to Rabbi Jill Borodin and
Cary Atlas on their recent wedding!
“It’s a basic halachic requirement that everyone have
enough nutritious food to eat.”
When Jill and Cary were planning their wedding, they opted to host an
affair that allowed them to extend their blessings forward in a
far-reaching way.
“We feel so fortunate, and we wanted to share the blessings we have
by symbolically inviting those who are less fortunate to our joyous
simcha,” Jill and Cary shared with us. (Which is precisely the idea
upon which MAZON was founded.)
Instead of registering for gifts, the couple “registered” with four
charities: a local organization (Congregation Beth Shalom in Seattle,
their synagogue); a national organization (MAZON); an organization
in Israel (New Israel Fund) and an organization with global impact
(American Jewish World Service) asking their guests to make a
contribution to one of the organizations in lieu of gifts.
MAZON was a natural choice because hunger is an important issue
for both of them. “If you’re hungry you can’t really do anything. You
can’t think, you can’t be productive…and it’s so easy to all of a sudden
find yourself in a position of food insecurity. MAZON is a meaningful
organization to us because we value the importance of both providing
immediate assistance and working to create long-term solutions to
end hunger.”
What would they like to pass on to others? “Far too often we focus
on taking care of ourselves first. And in this world of abundance, it is
our responsibility to care. We all live in a better world when no one is
hungry. We have the ability to change lives.”

D O N OR STORY
Gloria Greengard
We love it when donors come up with creative ways to incorporate
tzedakah day in day out. Gloria Greengard is doing just this.
After hearing about MAZON at Temple Isaiah in West Los Angeles,
Gloria was inspired to turn mindless snacking into an opportunity
to give back. For the last 12 years (yes, 12!) each time Gloria eats a
snack at work, she marks a tally on a post-it. When the tally marks
reach 50, she sends a gift to MAZON and starts the whole process
over again.
Not only do her gifts to MAZON make a difference in the lives of
others, but her post-it serves as a visual reminder that not everyone
has access to snacks – or even meals - when they are hungry.
“Giving to MAZON has become a part of my life. At
my temple, we are taught that if you’re fortunate,
you should share it with others. While we donate to
other charities, giving the ‘snack money’ to MAZON
just seems like the pragmatic thing to do.”
Snacking has never been so meaningful!

The Gleich Family
Sometimes, without the slightest bit of intention, a child can remind us of how important it is not just to
see that which makes us uncomfortable, but also that we can do something about it.
“Elizabeth and I were walking in New York City on a particularly frigid day and she asked to borrow some
money. I asked why and as she glanced towards a man sitting on the steps of a church she told me that
she wanted to buy him coffee and a sandwich,” Stuart Gleich recalls. That single gesture, a grand one for
a 10-year-old, turned into something much greater and with lasting effect on their family.
After that cold day in NYC, Stuart, his wife Debra, and their children Elizabeth and Joshua started giving
to MAZON, a tradition they’ve upheld for the last 20 years. They learned about our work through their
synagogue, Temple Rodeph Torah of Western Monmouth, NJ and appreciate that while we are a Jewish
response to hunger, we work to end hunger among all faiths and backgrounds.
The Gleich family embraces the idea that giving should be a habit - part of their every day effort to
realize Tikkun Olam. “We live in a tough world. If you have food, clothes, a warm home…you are blessed
and you should find a way to give. Give what you can, small amounts grow into large amounts over
time,” Stuart urges.
“Giving has become routine for us and we give by sending tribute cards. We send
them for joyous occasions, for congratulations, and in sympathy. And no matter
what the occasion – happy or sad – the recipients are always thrilled. It means so
much to them and also for us - we’re able to help those who need it.”
L’dor V’dor (from generation to generation) certainly rings true for giving in the Gleich family.
MAZON Advocacy Projects
Our belief is that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
It’s why our commitment to advocacy is the
foundation of our work and why we launched
a renewed commitment to empower our
synagogue partners to join our advocacy efforts
through the MAZON Advocacy Project (MAP).
programs, to supporting local and sustainable
farming, to increasing access to nutritious food,
to influencing state implementation of SNAP.
Together, MAZON and MAP participants are
working to transform how it is into how it
should be.
MAP unites synagogues, grantees and
like-minded advocates into a powerful
constituency to advance the interests and
dignity of those who struggle with food
insecurity. Current MAP initiatives (see map
for locations in blue) led by local synagogues
are actively addressing issues ranging
from reforming school breakfast and lunch

GR A NT EE STO RY
Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles
Advocacy work is rarely easy, a fact we are
reminded of regularly. Changes to policy are
slow and a product not of a single strategy, but
the cumulative effect of multiple strategies over
time. The work can be frustrating and thankless.
It requires immense flexibility because no matter
what you anticipate, especially in our current
political climate, modifications and cuts to
programs can come out of (what seems like)
thin air.
While advocacy work is challenging, it’s worth it.
Our desire to create long-term solutions to ending
hunger is why all of our partner grantees must
include advocacy in their work.
Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles (JFS)
is a multiservice agency that provides a wide
range of human services (SOVA Community
Food & Resource Program, Senior Services,
Shelter Services for Survivors of Domestic
Violence, Home Delivered Meals, Counseling,
Child & Family Services, Services for People with
Disablities) to poor and disadvantaged people
in their community. But JFS is more than just
a direct-service provider; they actively – and
successfully - advocate on behalf of their clients
as well.
Why is advocacy work a priority at JFS? “Direct
service is critically important, but if we can fix
issues legislatively… we can make a societal-level
difference. You have to have both,” Paul S. Castro,
JFS CEO tells us.
Advocacy looks different at every organization
and depending on each goal, what does it look
like at JFS LA?
•
Federal level: meet with members of
congress and conduct senior meal site visits;
send advocacy alerts
•
State or Regional level: provide testimony
about anti-hunger legislation; educate
legislators about the impacts of poverty
and hunger
26 | m a z o n . o r g
•
Local or Community level: encourage
community partners to support anti-hunger
safety-net programs
•
Organizational level: work to expand and
simplify enrollment in CalFresh (SNAP)
•
Media and Public education: bring
attention to the real impact of hunger
through social media, newsletters, press
releases, paper plate campaigns and
participate in local hunger awareness events
•
SNAP Outreach: assist with CalFresh
enrollment at JFS SOVA locations
What advice would Paul give to organizations
just beginning their advocacy journey? Start
simple and build relationships. “Find out who
your representatives are, leverage existing
relationships and talk about what you do.
Advocacy work is all about relationship-building
– and not always asking for something.”
As for what inspires and guides JFS?
Jewish values. “Tikkun olam – repairing the
world – clearly is an underpinning value for
what we do and our advocacy work.” And
we couldn’t agree more.
