I WANT TO KNOW MORE BEFORE SIGNING UP!
Why are charities always trying
to get me to give monthly?
THREE REASONS
TO GIVE MONTHLY:
Like a Tzedakah box, monthly giving MAKES GENEROSITY INTO A HABIT
Our Jewish traditions teach us that giving Tzedakah and advancing the cause of justice is a moral imperative. That’s why many families place money in a Tzedakah box before Shabbat dinner: it's a simple act that makes generosity a normal part of their weekly practice.
It’s an affordable way to MAKE A BIG IMPACT
Just like managing a household budget, non-profits run better when they can plan ahead. The stable foundation provided by monthly gifts makes it possible for Mazon to
MOVE FASTER and PLAN BOLDER.
Monthly gifts REDUCE ADMINISTRATIVE LABOUR
Mazon is a small team of three, and we make every minute count. Scheduled gift processing and automated receipting reduce staff labour – freeing us up to focus on supporting our partners and feeding the hungry.
I STILL NEED TO KNOW MORE!
I've supported Mazon for years...
but never monthly!
Why should 2023 be any different?
2023 IS
DIFFERENT:
The landscape of Canadian food insecurity is shifting under our feet.
Food banks across the country are sounding the alarm about record demand. Urban homeless shelters are turning away hundreds each night, and refugees continue to arrive weekly from overseas --
all as food prices climb even higher.
​
YES, THE LIVES OF FOOD INSECURE CANADIANS ARE PRECARIOUS
AND UNPREDICTABLE
. . .
BUT WHEN CANADIANS GO HUNGRY THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CARES
With so much uncertainty ahead, rapid response will be
critical this winter. That's why we need the stable foundation provided by monthly gifts: to help Mazon
MOVE FASTER and PLAN BOLDER in 2023 and beyond.
