Getting Involved and Volunteering:
Volunteering is also a valuable way to give to the temple and it often provides opportunities for members to connect with each other more personally, to share perspectives and traditions. It can be as much a resource for members as it is a means of giving.

Fundraisers:
In addition to member donations the temple organizes fundraising events. These include the Spring and Fall Food Bazaars as well as Obon. Many hours over several days are required to prepare and host these events. The work of many members ensures these events are successful.

Most toban participants join a team that provides refreshments during dharma exchange following service and temple cleaning one month out of the year. There are additionally specialty tobans, these include a garden toban and flower toban.
