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!

Thank you to all who supported the Born I concert held on September 30. We are delighted to announce that we raised over $3450 for KPC and Buddhist Relief, which will allow us to continue our work to benefit all beings.

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!”

“There are more and more families coming. These donations are filling a great need.”

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!
