Mission
To build community through a spirit of generosity, increasing our capacity to notice differences in other people’s lives and to see ways we can be of help.
Description
Hearts and Hands gives us the opportunity to connect with each other and provide assistance when a sangha member experiences hardship.
This may involve offering a ride or meal, housework, visiting in the hospital or home, or other ways that let people know the community supports them.
Hearts and Hands strives to be of assistance in some small way, filling an immediate need. Requests will be reviewed by coordinators and volunteers will be enlisted based on their availability.
Through giving and receiving, we experience the source of compassion and the warm, loving heart of our practice together.
Give and Receive
