items to donate

History, Vision, Community, and Theravada Buddhism

Because our supporters wish to donate to Bhavana Society’s residential community, we provide this list of items which would be useful. We deeply appreciate your donations, and we remain grateful to ALL of our supporters!

Items needed most are in GREEN.  (While we are in seclusion, until March 15, groceries may be ordered online – thank you!)
