Monastics are not at liberty to ask for goods unless someone inquires about what they need with the intention to make an offering. Since a number of lay supporters have expressed the wish to have a list conveniently available online, we are keeping the list below updated for those who wish to know what is currently needed.

We truly appreciate the kind generosity of everyone supporting KBV in so many ways. 

Food items:
Grocery gift cards for Wild Roots, Safeway, Trader Joe's or Costco are very helpful, especially at this time
