MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger has gifted the Vermont Foodbank $18,000 to provide more food to struggling Vermont families.

“MAZON is a longtime supporter of the Vermont Foodbank and we are so grateful to have their support again this year,” said John Sayles, Vermont Foodbank CEO.  “The grant funds will help the Foodbank provide 54,000 meals for our neighbors who are hungry. And because 153,000 Vermonters will visit a food shelf or meal sites this year, MAZON’s support couldn’t have come at a better time.”

MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is a national nonprofit organization working to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel. For more than 20 years, MAZON has supported the Vermont Foodbank and its mission of gathering and sharing quality food and nurturing partnerships so that no one in Vermont goes hungry.
