Virtual Dānā Meal Fund

Our Virtual Dānā Meal Fund is an opportunity for families and individuals to make a financial contribution towards Birken’s meal offerings in memory of loved ones without visiting the monastery. The meal will be cooked by resident stewards at the monastery and offered as either breakfast or our mid-day meal on the day of your choosing (subject to date availability). Any portion of your donation that is not spent on your sponsored meal will either be used for a meal at a later date or for general kitchen expenses.

We invite you to fill out this online form to schedule your Virtual Dānā Meal. You may designate your donation in the name of someone and/or select a preferred date for your dānā meal. If you have a preferred date, your request must be made at least two weeks in advance of your preferred date. Please note your preferred date under your selected donation amount where it says, “Write a private message to us (optional)”. For those requesting a specific date, we will reply within one week to confirm if it is available.

Should you have any questions about our Virtual Dānā Meal Fund, please email us (bookings@birken.ca) for more information.
