When Buddhist Relief was first formed Jetsunma said: “Get out there. Set up visible networks. Make Buddhist Relief happen. Be seen. Be heard. We should be set up, not only as an information hub or clearinghouse online, but we should actually take phone calls, and get in a truck and go help someone who cries out for help.”

Our Buddhist Relief program works closely with the Upcounty Hub in Germantown to collect and distribute the food donations and emergency and hygiene supplies to those in need.
