Puja sponsorship:

Sunday samuhik puja sponsorship amount has been kept as $201. Multiple families can join together to take sponsorship for pujal. We recommend the sponsoring family to participate in Abhishek and puja.

​

Kitchen volunteer:

SJM is operated by it's volunteers and it is a zero payroll organization. We always welcome visitors at SJM as we would welcome guests at our home. Every Sunday we serve Jain vegetarian lunch to all our visitors. To make this arrangement, several community members sign up to take ownership of making kitchen arrangements. All the grocery bill is paid by the temple.
