Service Program

Social Action

The MFD community seeks to apply the teachings of the Buddha to bring about meaningful and urgently needed social change in our community and the world. Buddhist tradition calls us to see clearly into the nature of suffering, thus developing compassion and actively engaging in the world’s struggles. MFD practices “Engaged Buddhism” through participating in social activism as a community.  

Service Program 

MFD supports the Parktown Food Hub in South Durham with various service projects. Our members provide monthly food donations, volunteer together at the food hub, and organize support for Parktown families during the holidays.
