The Buddhist Churches of America (BCA) has established the Southern California Wildfire Relief fund in response to the catastrophic and deadly wildfires across Southern California. Monies raised will support BCA’s Pasadena Buddhist Temple and other Southern District temples affected by the wildfires. The Pasadena Buddhist Temple was saved because of the quick actions of neighbors. Unfortunately, 16 Pasadena Sangha members lost their homes and a business. There have also been additional Sangha members in Southern California, including members of the West Los Angeles Buddhist Temple and Senshin Buddhist Temple, who have lost their homes and have been forced to evacuate.
Donations to the fund can be made through the following methods: Go to the
BCA website at: https://bca.kindful.com/
