MAZON Canada

MAZON Canada was founded by Leonard Fein on the 3% principle. This means we ask our supporters to donate 3% of the food costs of any simcha or milestone event so we can allocate those funds to the hungry. This work began in 1986 by encouraging the Jewish community to "symbolically invite a hungry stranger to their table" and later branched out to other fundraising avenues, including special events, appeals at holidays and the sale of occasion cards. Over the last 25 years we have helped thousands of Canadians through hundreds of programs.
