Testimonials
“[The Choice Pantry] was just an idea. Then KPC Buddhist Relief came. They provided an abundance of donations. They’ve been coming every single week. Hundreds of pounds, and we’re able to offer now a variety of almost 70 different items to over 200 families. And that’s all because of KPC Buddhist Relief, and all the work they have put in to make this pantry possible. It wouldn’t have been possible without them.”
— Marko Rivera-Oven, Director of Operations, The Upcounty Hub
"We are so blessed to be part of a community that includes Buddhist Relief. For years they have grown and donated beautiful fresh produce from their farm to many area organizations to help reduce food insecurity... including donations to WUMCO and Little Free Pantry. Yesterday they delivered a brand new refrigerator to Poolesville Little Free Pantry at Poolesville Presbyterian Church to support our need to store eggs, produce and baked goods for the pantry. They are truly an amazing partner with our community!"
— Sarah Defnet, Manager, The Poolesville Little Free Pantry
(While receiving a large delivery from Buddhist Relief in August) “This time around I’m not sobbing like a baby because I’m so overwhelmed. And every time I’m with all of you, you restore my faith in humanity.”
