It’s not too late to support KPC Buddhist Relief at a benefit concert Saturday, September 30 from 5 – 7 PM. The concert will be held on the front lawn of the KPC Buddhist Temple, located 20 miles northwest of DC on 72 acres in the beautiful Agricultural Reserve in Western Montgomery County.

We would like to warmly invite you to attend a benefit concert on Saturday Sept. 30 from 5PM to 7PM to support both KPC and Buddhist Relief. Headlined by rapper and meditation teacher Ofosu Jones-Quartey aka Born I, this family-friendly evening of traditional Tibetan Buddhist prayer, a singing bowl sound bath meditation, and a journey through lyrical music that focuses on spirituality and positivity, will be held on the front lawn of the temple.

For the past four decades, Shepherd's Table has been feeding people experiencing food insecurity. They serve 300-600 meals per day, every day. KPC Buddhist Relief is proud to partner with them!

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.

Imagine your family being forced to flee your home and relocate to a new country due to poverty, war, famine, violence, persecution or other terrible suffering and arriving with little more than the clothes on your backs. You might not know anyone or even speak the language. You certainly wouldn’t have food, toiletries or anything to set up a home, and there isn’t much help available.

This Sunday, July 16th, bring the kids and join us for a guided walk to gather wild edible berries throughout the beautiful trails of KPC Buddhist Temple’s 65-acre Peace Park.

The event is FREE to attend and berry picking baskets will be provided!

Buddhist Relief is dedicated to eliminating hunger, not only through supplying food donations, but through providing educational opportunities for those interested in learning to grow and forage their own food.

With the summer season upon us in Maryland, you may see flashes of bright orange in wooded areas or even on trees in lawns. You just may have spotted the “60 mile an hour fungus,” known as chicken of the woods.

One of Buddhist Relief’s newest partners is The First Baptist Church of Silver Spring. It has a modest food pantry that serves what some refer to as the “food desert” of Montgomery County and has operated since 1983.

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.

On Sunday, 6-11-23, it took one SUV and an overflow car to deliver today’s food donations to Shepherd’s Table.
