Friends of Sanctuary

We invite you to become a Friend of Sanctuary.

The rental income from Sanctuary covers only about half of its operating costs. We are asking for gifts in the way of time, talent or money to help support our mission of providing a comfortable, safe and contemplative environment for those who seek a relationship with the deeper Self and with the Sacred.

Ways to be involved….

• Gardening/weeding
• Grant writing
• Work weekends (clean-up)
• Volunteer for our "Sundays at Sanctuary" series
• Computer skills, mailing list

Monetary gifts can be given in memory of a loved one or to support one of our projects (some still in the visioning stages). For example, leaves can be purchased on the Tree of Life.

Other giving opportunities:

• Scholarship fund to provide retreat time for groups or individuals who can't afford it.
• Supporting the Martin Buber Summer Youth programs in multi-cultural understanding, music and the arts, and collective living.
• Expansion of the Guest House.
• Additional benches and outdoor areas for quiet, meditation or prayer.
• All season sun room addition to the Guest House for a quiet space/reading room/ additional meeting room.
• A pavilion for celebrations and dancing.
• A Mikvah - Ritual Bath - for spiritual purification.

Please speak with Rabbi David (301-349-2799) about further naming opportunities.
