Local Alms

During this these unusual times of the Coronavirus, the Pacific Hermitage monastics are not walking alms rounds Mondays – Fridays but, instead asking those interested in offering food to drop it off at the Hermitage. As such, please adhere to specific instructions outlined below to ensure the safety and health of the Pacific Hermitage monastics and all who visit. If you are interested in offering an in-person meal during a weekend, please visit the Weekend Meal Offering page for instructions.

When We Return to Walking Alms Rounds

The Pacific Hermitage monks walk through White Salmon, WA every morning (about 8:00 and 9:30 AM) to receive food for their daily meal and connect with the community.  Questions?  Want to see if they can walk by your place?  Feel free to ask the monks or our  Hermitage Dana-Coordinator.
