Honor the Buddha’s awakening this season by helping nourish others.
As we move through the season of light and generosity, the Buddhist Faith Fellowship invites you to join us on Sunday, December 20, 2026, for a special Holiday Season Food Drive during our Meditation & Talk Meeting, starting a 8:45 a.m.
Bodhi Day, celebrated on December 8th, marks the Buddha’s enlightenment—a moment of boundless compassion for all beings. In that spirit, we are coming together as a sangha to support our neighbors in need here in Middletown.
Please arrive before 9 a.m. so as not to disturb the meditation practice.
Food Drive Details
We will be collecting non-perishable food items at:
Buddhist Faith Fellowship
343 Washington Terrace, Middletown, CT
Durning and after the Meditation & Talk Meeting
All donations will be delivered to a local food pantry, likely Amazing Grace, to help local families through the winter season.
Volunteers Needed
We are seeking several volunteers to help coordinate the drive, collect items, and transport the donations. They will briefly meet on December 6th after the Meditation & Talk meeting. If you’d like to help, simply attend our Meditation & Talk Sunday gathering and connect with the volunteer team. You can also volunteer on the 20th too.
How to Participate
- Bring a food donation on December 20

Thank you for supporting this meaningful act of service. Together, we embody the heart of Bodhi Day and share the warmth of the season with those who need it most.
