Community Service
Practice Compassion in Action: Join Our 2026 Community Service Projects
Sister sanghas, Red Clay and Peach Blossom, collaborate to bring Buddhist values off the cushion and into the world through compassionate service. Rooted in the principles of generosity, kindness, and the alleviation of suffering, service projects offer meaningful ways to connect with community — and each other.
During 2025 we engaged in activities and learning along the way what works best for all involved. Our scheduled activities are approximately every other month. As we move forward into 2026 we anticipate a sharper focus and more opportunities
Whether you're a long-time practitioner or simply moved to lend a hand; whether you're a sangha member, an occasional visitor, or the friend of family member of anyone; whether you're a Buddhist or a Christian or a Muslim, or any other "ist", whether you've ever attended either Red Clay or Peach Blossom or not, you're warmly invited to join us. Come be part of something bigger than yourself.
