We did it! Thanks to YOU, our generous donors, the Thanksgiving Pie/Clothing Drive raised $9,162.50.

On the Monday before Thanksgiving, volunteers from KPC Buddhist Relief joined staff from the Upcounty Hub along with dozens of community members to provide 500 Thanksgiving dinners to families facing food insecurity.

On Friday, after our delivery to Wumco Help, much of the same team then traveled to Silver Spring to make a delivery to the First Baptist Church's Food Closet.

Our partner WUMCO Help provides many kinds of assistance to those in need-- food, rent, utilities, medical & critical expenses, and much more.

On Friday we made our first large delivery to WUMCO Help.

A very abundant delivery was made to Shepherd’s Table today! We offered beautiful produce, fruit and dry goods including a new Tandoori marinade for the chefs. Jetsunma also sent over 272lbs of warm clothing to Shepherd’s Table’s Clothing Closet.

KPC Buddhist Relief donates thousands of pounds of food weekly to local partners, including Shepherd's Table in Silver Spring, Maryland. Shepherd's Table serves hot meals every day of the year to those who are hungry.

Today we delivered 3,040 lbs of food to the Hub! About 1/3 of the total were for the drive through distribution of produce tomorrow (in Montgomery Village), for about 175 families. The rest were items for the Choice Pantry.

Please help KPC Buddhist Relief meet our goal of sponsoring 600 Thanksgiving pies and warm clothing sets for those in need!

Today, our team joyfully delivered 1,212 lbs of food to the Upcounty Hub.

It started with a daily food box donation. Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo donated a box of healthy nutritious food every day since the beginning of Covid. Her students noticed, became inspired, and together with partners and volunteers KPC Buddhist Relief donations have grown so much we needed a proper vehicle to safely transport them!

Today, we delivered 816.2 lbs of food to Poolesville Little Free Pantry!

After dropping off 92 lbs of meat at The Upcounty Hub, we delivered an abundant 1640lbs of food to Shepherd’s Table.

Chef Christina, Director of Meal Services, said: “The food just keeps coming… It’s amazing!”
