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 2019, we will walk in San Jose on Saturday, March 30. More Info
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!

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.
