Volunteer & Temple Wish List

Volunteer Opportunities coming up:

We often have special events needing support, fund raising efforts, we can always use help in the garden, our building is over 100 years old and so there are always maintenance and repair projects and we keep a running list of future projects and tasks presented at and updated for every board of director  meeting and would be happy to provide information on opportunities to help. We would also greatly appreciate help from anyone with skills in building maintenance and construction, but have many tasks requiring a wide variety of skills. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us!

Donation Wish List for HSZC (objects we could use)

We operate and continue to operate through the generous money donations you provide (dana), but also have needs of physical objects and work effort to keep our space in good shape, clean and inviting to practitioners and those wishing to drop by and explore. 

Currently we could use:

- Couch: To replace current one.  Ours is in usable functioning condition, rceetly upholstery cleaned but an updated, better condition (less cat damaged) couch would be nice.
- Upholstered Chair to accompany Couch
- A few furniture objects:  We have two end tables, but newer in better condition ones for our living room space would be nice.
- Newer Microwave:  Current one works, but is in its last stages of life.
- Sewing work, black upholstery thread, stuffing: Zafus and Zabutons are getting a little exhausted at the seams and could use some black thread and skilled sewing efforts, some Zafus could also use a little more stuffing
- Compact wood color shoe rack: for right inside Zendo door 
- Insulation (we need to fill the place with it! We have hollow walls and underside exposed floor in the zendo)
- Library: specific books (please advise if you’d like to donate a book)
- Kitchen / Back Porch cabinets
- Wall heaters
- Concrete for patch work
- Materials to refinish dining room table
- Small storage shed for porch or garden area
- Tile for back porch, vinyl or other and materials to install
