Meal Sponsorship
With
rising food and general costs, the centre needs some help in sharing the load of
taking care of our resident Sangha. The monks are a source of great inspiration
and joy to many people, and we believe are an asset to our community. If you,
your family or anyone you know is in a position to help and sponsor the cost of
our Sanghas meals, this is what's involved:
To sponsor a meal, simply choose which day of the week and which meal you would
like to sponsor
(i.e. Monday breakfast, or Wednesday lunch etc.)
Breakfast sponsorship:
$5.00 ($20.00 a month)
Lunch sponsorship: $15.00 ($60.00 a month)
Dinner Sponsorship: $10.00 ($40.00 a month)
Your sponsorship will cover the full cost of this particular meal for all three of our resident monks, and occasional guests. A roster of the Sponsors will be placed in the dining room, and at each meal, the Sangha will make an offering of thanks to the sponsor of that particular meal.
Once a year, the centre will organise a thanks-giving meal for the sponsors and their families.
How to go about your sponsorship
