  • Expansion of our water sources by adding an additional well to address the increase in guest traffic.
  • Repair damage from Hurricane Helene, including the Main Meditation Hall roof, building leaks, carpet replacement, etc.

The funds needed to implement these projects total $3,000,000. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a significant impact.
