    [Engaged] Buddhist Global Relief

    Hi All,

    One of my favorite charities is Buddhist Global Relief. They do so many good things. Here's a link to their homepage:



    They are currently doing their annual Walk to Feed the Hungry with many local events scheduled:

    San Francisco, CA
    September 30

    Portland, ME
    September 30

    Milford, MI
    September 30

    Seattle, WA
    September 30

    Philadelphia, PA
    October 15

    Portland, OR
    October 21

    St. Louis, MO
    October 22

    New York, NY
    October 28

    Houston, TX
    November 4

    You can also create an event in your area if you like. Nice activity for our Treeleaf Global Days of Service, or anytime!

    They are also part of the Amazon Smile program that Myogan was talking about in an earlier thread.
    I know I've written about this before. Any other shopping for charity programs people know about? Gassho Sat

    Thank you Byokan.

    My wife and I traditionally use a World Vision as our charitable vehicle to helping in under developed parts of the world. It is a Christian based organization. I was just thinking to myself earlier this week about whether there was a Buddhist related charity but hadn’t gotten around to looking. I’ll keep this in mind. Not that I think it is important- Christian/Buddhist/Islam Giving is giving just so long as the organization is reputable.

            For sure.

            And thank you Byokan.

            I think from time to time that Treeleaf needs to get behind its own project or two ... a school in Cambodia, a clinic in Vietnam or the like, sponsored by us. Hmmmm.
