MAZON Work in Progress
In 2016, MAZON launched the national tour of This Is Hunger, a high-impact, multi-media educational experience that draws on the actual experiences of those living with hunger to inform and engage participants in actions to help end hunger in the United States. This singular education and outreach program is currently touring the United States in a 53-foot-long, 10-foot high, 1,000 square foot double expandable trailer—literally a big rig!
With stops in major cities across the United States, the truck has already visited Phoenix, Tucson, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Greater Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, Nashua (NH), and the NY-NJ-CT area. Future cities include Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Tulsa, and San Francisco.
In the few short months since its launch, literally thousands of people have gone through the This Is Hunger truck, including many families, congregants, JCC members, government officials, students, and youth groups.
