For several years now, we have maintained a close relationship with Wat Buddha Oregon. The Temple offers a place of respite and spiritual instruction for many Thai Buddhists around Salem and Portland. The doors are also open to those looking to learn more about Buddhism and Thai culture. Many of our staff frequent the temple for various activities and gatherings they host throughout the year. We have helped with cooking fundraisers and other events hosted on their grounds. This year, many of these events were cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inspired by Wat Buddha’s continual support of the Thai community in Oregon, Thai Bloom has donated $2,500 to support their work through the challenges this year has brought. We offer our gratitude to The Buddhist Temple of Oregon for their work during this time and are eager to see how they continue to care for our local Thai community.
