We are accepting food donations for our Eastside neighbors at the Neighborhood house (77 America St off Columbus St) who will appreciate sliced bread, soups/stews (not cream of), canned vegetables, canned fruit & canned meats, pasta, rice & bottled water. Offerings can be placed in foyer of Dharma Center. Sincere thanks to those who have contributed to the 643 pounds of food donated to the Lowcountry Food Bank in 2023! Geshe-la’s short stanza on giving:
The real value of wealth lies within the act of giving.
The value of wealth is ruined in miserliness when one fails to act generously.
