North Room Social Hall Fundraiser
Wishlist
Mountable first aid kit | $150 at HomeDepot
A first aid kit will help our sangha handle minor injuries and medical emergencies effectively, preventing them from escalating into more serious issues. Whether it's treating a cut, alleviating a burn, or managing a sprain, a well-stocked first aid kit ensures we have the necessary tools and supplies on hand to address immediate needs.
Defibrillator | $1500 at AmericanAED.com
Having a defibrillator on hand is crucial because it can dramatically increase the chances of survival during a cardiac arrest. When someone’s heart stops beating or beats irregularly, a defibrillator delivers a controlled electric shock to restore a normal heart rhythm. This quick intervention can be life-saving, especially in emergencies where every second counts.
Hot water dispenser | $750 on Amazon
This appliance provides instant access to hot water at the touch of a button, eliminating the need to wait for a kettle or pot to boil. The dispenser delivers hot water quickly and consistently, saving time and energy. It ensures our sangha members have access to hydrating tea at all times!
Refrigerator | $700 at Home Depot
Having a refrigerator is essential for maintaining the freshness and safety of perishable foods, significantly extending their shelf life. It will help us store food for meals, medications, and other items during our day-longs and weekend events. It will also make it easier to host social gatherings when access to refrigeration is needed.
* Picnic bench | $900 at Global Industrial
A picnic table is a practical and enjoyable addition to our space. It will enable our sangha to have a dedicated space for social gatherings beyond the social hall, as well as to enjoy nature and meals comfortably outdoors.
Furniture | $1000
Our social hall is currently unfurnished. While we are still assessing the needs for the new space, your donations will help us make sure that we have plenty of storage, seating, library, and other amenities to ensure we make full use of the space for walking meditation practice, teacher meetings, and social events.
A/V Equipment | $1000
While we are still assessing the A/V needs for the new space, your donations will help us make sure that we have the right sound system, microphones, projection screens, and ability to support hybrid events in the new social space.
