With offices, clinics, schools, academies, and
bookstores spread across twenty-seven states,
Tzu Chi volunteers serve their local communities
each and every day. When their neighbors are
in need—whether in the next town, state, or
country over—they reach out with love and
compassion to relieve their suffering.

 On November 9, 2014, Northern California  In Orange, New Jersey, two apartment building fires
volunteers distributed jackets, sleeping bags, and in November 2014 left many families without anywhere
backpacks full of daily necessities to more than two to turn. On November 14, Tzu Chi volunteers distributed
hundred homeless individuals. The distribution, held at daily life necessities to help these families pass through the
Horace Mann Elementary in San Jose, served to bring difficult time more comfortably. Here, a volunteer shares
