Holiday Cards for Inmates

Posted on by

It’s that time of year again, when we reach out and invite you to join our annual Holiday Cards for Buddhist Inmates program.

We’ve made it simple this year – we’re providing packets with cards. All we need you to do is purchase some postage stamps, write a heartfelt message, and send the cards on their way. It’s a small act, but it brings immense joy and connection to our Buddhist inmates during the holiday season.

If you’d like to participate, please visit us at the Rime’s Sunday Service on December 15th to pick up your card packet.
