AZON: A Jewish
Response to
Hunger will receive
more than $600,000
in funding from Kaiser Permanente,
a not-for-profit health plan based in
Oakland, Calif., to establish a new
initiative designed to address the
link between obesity and hunger.
The goal of the "Healthy Options,
Healthy Meals" program is to
strengthen the capacity of food
banks to provide more nutritious
food reaching low-income families.
Millions of people will benefit from
the program, which will be imple-
mented nationally over 2'/2 years.
The program will assist food banks
in their efforts to become stronger
community resources for healthy
eating among low-income families.
"It is truly a
scandal that, in a
country as abun-
dant in resources
as ours, 49 million
Americans, includ-
ing nearly 17 million
children, live at the
edge of hunger,"
Joel E. Jacob
said Joel E. Jacob,
MAZON's national chairman and a
West Bloomfield businessman.
"All people deserve access to
fresh and nutritious food — and we
are honored to partner with Kaiser
Permanente to help make that pos-
sible."
With data showing an alarm-
ing spike in obesity across the
United States, a mounting body of
evidence ties this increase in the
number of overweight Americans to
poor quality diets among people fac-
ing severe economic strain. Poverty
and hunger — also on the rise, and
expected to grow significantly in
2010 and beyond — often force
individuals and families to make dif-
ficult decisions that result in the con-
sumption of high-fat, low-cost food.
"Healthy Options, Healthy Meals"
seeks to reverse this trend.
Founded in 1985, MAZON has
granted $50 million in support of stra-
tegic and targeted hunger relief.
