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.

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.

We typically arrange an event every couple of months, and these are individually scheduled on Red Clay's calendar. To find out more about our upcoming activities, visit our calendar, and sign up for our newsletter.
