food for the hungry by asking
American Jews for a self-
imposed three percent "tax"
on the cost of weddings, b'nai
and b'not mitzvah, anniver-
saries and other happy occa-
sions, says the idea has
caught on so quickly that con-
tributions have tripled in a
single year.
To date, Mazon — the
Hebrew word for food — has
distributed a total of 44
grants to established com-
munity agencies, both Jewish
and non-Jewish, that feed
poor people in this country
and abroad.
Founded two years ago by
Leonard Fein, former editor of
Moment magazine, Mazon
reported total contributions of
$163,000 during its first year,
which ened Nov. 1986. Dona-
tions for the second year,
which has just ended, showed
a dramatic jump to $550,000.
In addition, the number of
gifts has more than doubled
— climbing from 3,850 for
1985-1986 to 9,975 for
1986-1987.
Theodore R. Mann, chair-
man of Mazon and president
of the American Jewish Con-
gress, says the organization
will make a stepped-up ap-
peal during the current holi-
day season "because the need
keeps growing and Mazon is
one of the most direct and ef-
fective ways to help the
hungry and the homeless."
Among the agencies that

have received grants from
Mazon are Project Ezra,
which conducts a food kitchen
for elderly Jews on New
York's Lower East Side; the
American Jewish World Ser-
vice of Boston, which trains
local volunteers for an
agricultural development pro-
gram in Sri Lanka; and the
Wilkinson Emergency Ser-
vice Center in East Dallas,
Texas, which stocks a food
pantry for recent immigrants
from Asia.
By the end of December no
Michigan agencies had
received a grant from Mazon.
However, the Food Bank of
Oakland County had made
an application for funds to the
tune of $5,000 and is waiting
for the disposition of its re-
quest, according to Executive
Director Jim Macy.
The food bank was estab-
lished in March 1983 and ser-
vices 50 different food pan-
tries and soup kitchens. Macy
estimates that by the end of
1987, more than one million
pounds of food had been given
to more than 110,000 in-
dividuals living in Oakland
County.
Rabbi A. Irving Schnipper
of Cong. Beth Abraham Hillel
Moses in West Bloomfield,
who is a leading proponent of
Mazon in Detroit, had also
suggested that Mother Wad-
dles Perpetual Mission,
operated by Charlezetta Wad-
dles on Grand River in
Detroit, apply for a grant as
well. Mazon funds go to all
