One box of food from Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo and KPC Buddhist Relief was delivered to the Upcounty Hub without fail, every day for over a year.

With pandemic SNAP benefits no longer available and the rising cost of food, families often need to decide between paying for healthcare, or electricity, or food. No one should have to choose amongst basic necessities.

To meet this increased need, Buddhist Relief is ramping up our donations to our nonprofit partners.

KPC’s Buddhist Relief program continues on a roll! We would love your support as we continue making a tangible and traceable impact in our communities that need it most.

Thank you to the village of people who came out to help with the harvest today!

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.
