Buddhist Global Relief (BGR) is a non-profit organization, founded and led by Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi. Its mission is to address chronic hunger and malnutrition. BGR funds projects around the world that provide direct food aid, help develop better methods of sustainable food production and management, promote the education of the very poor, especially for girls and women, which helps stabilize population growth and eradicate poverty, and train women in right livelihood skills to support their families.
BGR's primary fund-raising efforts are the Walks to Feed the Hungry. In 2017, 2 walks are planned in the SF Bay Area:
San Jose Walk 2017 (Sept 16)
San Francisco Walk 2017 (Sept 30)
Photos for previous walks are in our photos page.
We like to thank everyone who has participated in these walks (volunteering, spreading the word, making donations and fundraising, attending the walk). We hope to see you again this year!

Climate Change Awareness |

We recognize the moral imperative of speaking out for action to end the carbon age. Out of compassion for the entire human population and future generations of all species on this planet, we join this growing movement to promote divesting from fossil fuel industries, to remove subsidies to the fossil fuel industries, to put a tax on carbon and ramp up the development of clean energy alternatives. Taking action together is the only way to a viable future.
