WHY GIVE
Forty years of community, built by people like you.
JCBC has served Jain families in BC since 1984. In 2016, our community came together to open our temple in Surrey. It was a promise that every Jain family here would have a place to worship, learn, and belong.
We receive no government funding. That promise is kept by people who give. Daan is one of the oldest and most joyful practices in Jain life, and every donation, large or small, keeps it alive here.
Your donation makes possible
- Sunday Puja for everyone who walks through our doors
- Pathshala that teaches Jain values to the next generation
- Festivals that mark the full rhythm of the Jain year
- CarePath food and hygiene packages for people in need
- The New Temple Expansion a larger home for a growing community
