A month of food for 100 monks

The Maitri Project · September 13, 2026

The Maitri Project has supported food for 100 monks for a full month at the World Peace Temple. This achievement is simple to describe, but it meets a daily need that underlies every other aspect of community life.

Supporting the everyday

Prayer, study, and service take place within the routines of ordinary life. Food support helps a monastic community meet those routines with greater stability. It is a concrete expression of generosity toward the people who sustain contemplative traditions.

The milestone reflects one full month of support. It sits alongside Maitri’s work in education, housing, healthcare, and retreat, each addressing a different practical need within the communities we serve.
