The GATEway Project

The GATEway Project (Global Advocacy as a Tool for Engagement) expands the involvement of individual American Jews, Jewish congregations and Jewish religious leaders in global health and hunger issues as part of a broader, interfaith effort to fight poverty around the world. GATEway seeks to bring about increased advocacy on these issues and, ultimately, changes in related U.S. government policy.

MAZON:  A Jewish Response to Hunger

Founded in 1985, MAZON:  A Jewish Response to Hunger is a national, nonprofit agency that allocates donations from the Jewish community to prevent and alleviate hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds.
 

Each year, MAZON grants nearly $4 million to more than 30 carefully screened hunger-relief agencies, including emergency food providers, food banks, multi-service organizations and advocacy groups that seek long-term solutions to the hunger problem.
