MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is an American nonprofit working to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel.

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 and 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.
