Dining Hall Renovation

Dear Beloved Community,

With hearts full of gratitude and aspiration, we come together to invite your support for a noble endeavor in our midst. As we walk the path of mindful living and compassion, we recognize the importance of a nourishing space where our community can come together to share meals, connect and deepen our practice.

Our beloved dining hall and kitchen, built in 2004, the heart of our monastery, is in need of renovation and revitalization. The space where we gather to eat, to listen deeply, and to nourish our bodies and spirits is in need of renewal.

We are humbly seeking your support in raising $400,000 to complete this essential renovation project. With a current fund of $600,000, we are confident that with your generosity and kindness, we can reach our goal of $1 million. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and help us create a space that will nourish generations to come.

Together, let us build a dining hall and kitchen that embodies the values of mindfulness, compassion, and community. Your support will not only benefit our current community but will also be a gift to all those who seek refuge and transformation at Magnolia Grove Monastery.

May your generosity be a seed of love and understanding that blossoms in the hearts of all beings. Thank you for your kind consideration and support.
