Ways You Can Help

The San Francisco Buddhist Center is a public place devoted to creating a supportive environment for those interested in it. There are many painless ways you can contribute to this volunteer-run space:

• When It's Purge Time. Next time you purge, consider donating it to Community Thrift Store, and specify the San Francisco Buddhist Center (charity #117, but just the name works too) as the recipient charity. It's at 623 Valencia Street, near 17th Street. Donation hours are 10:00am to 5:00pm on Sycamore Alley (around the corner from the store). Tel: 861-4910
• Monthly pledge. Join our Dana Program.
• One-time donation. Send a check (made out to 'FWBO') or use your credit card online.
• Keep an area of the Center clean for one month. Put your name on the sign-up sheet in the Center to keep an area of the Center clean for a 1-month period.
• Volunteer. This Center exists because of people volunteer their time to clean it, organize retreats, teach classes, put together the program, and countless other things. If you appreciate this place, please consider doing a job for a week, month/s, or a year. (See also More Ways You Can Help.)
• Give money automatically while shopping! when you are registered with eScrip. More information coming soon.
