ABOUT US

     The Reedley Jr. YBA continues to support the Marjaree Mason Center of Reedley with their donations of stuffed animals for the children who visit the center for battered women and their children. As a service project they volunteered at the Poverello House in Fresno to help serve meals. The Jr. YBA also makes an annual visitation (after the annual mochitsuki) to the local rest homes to visit the church members who reside at these facilities and present them with a mochi "osonae" for good luck.
     We have several members on the Central California Junior Young Buddhist Association cabinet which serves the Central Valley from Visalia to Fresno.
