Dāna List

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.
​
Below the list,
there is a meal calendar showing blank days as the ones that are available to bring meals for the nuns. Please contact us when you have a date in mind and we will sign you up. If you don't see any available dates, please check again later, as cancellations are common.

If you cannot come in the morning on your day, it's also OK to drop the food off the night before (it will be re-offered the next morning). If you are not local and would like to offer a meal, we can suggest some possible options.

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