Tea
The tea supply at Quaker Meetinghouse is running low. Please consider bringing a box to share.
Volunteers Needed
There are several ways to help with our Monday evenings. These jobs are simple and share the work of running the sangha from week to week.
- Help set up the Meetinghouse at 6:40 (someone with a key will be there to unlock and assist).
- Ring chimes at 7:15 and 7:45.
- Lead the refuge chant (i.e., say, "Let us take refuge" and begin the chant).
- Dedicate merit at the end of the evening.
- Wash cups.

Dana
The Prairie Sangha is funded through donations from those who choose to support the sangha financially.
We do not provide recommendations for gift amounts as it is up to each individual to decide what is appropriate. This practice is in accordance with the Theravada principle of dana, in which the Dharma is freely and generously offered with no expectation of payment or reward.
Dana helps the sangha cover expenses such as weekly rent for the Quaker Meetinghouse, website hosting and registration, and other incidental costs that enable us to offer these meditation evenings each week. The Prairie Sangha is a volunteer-run organization with no paid employees.
If you wish to make a gift to the Prairie Sangha, the following options are available:
- Placing your gift in the basket outside the door of the meditation hall on Monday evenings;
- Sending a check (payable to the Prairie Sangha) to PO Box 222, Champaign, IL 61824; or
- Making a PayPal or credit card donation on our website at www.prairiesangha.org/donate.
The Prairie Sangha is a 501(c)(3) public charity and your donation is tax-deductible.
