Almsgiving (Kathina)
​Dana Wish List

At this traditional time of offering alms, there is an opportunity to provide requisites to the monastics and useful things for the monastery. This is traditionally done both by providing financial contributions and practical gifts. Below are items that would benefit the monastics at KBV and those who come to the monastery to practice and support each other. If you would like to offer an item, please email us so we may mark it as already offered on this list. If shipping items, please send them to:
KBV
108 Cutter Drive
Watsonville, CA 95076

​New items may be added until the day of the event.
