Today, May 24, 2026, the CYOC Summer Donation Drive was successfully held at Wootton High School. Although the event itself lasted only a few hours, the effort behind it represented weeks of planning, coordination, outreach, and teamwork. Together with Ruichen and Kevin, we organized the drive from the very beginning, and throughout this experience I witnessed how a community can unite through compassion, generosity, and a shared desire to help others.

CYOC 2026 捐赠活动

By Lily Xu

2026年5月24号，上午10点, CYOC 与 So What Else 共同发起的 2026 Donation drive 在马里兰州 Wooton high school 的停车场准时开始。多日持续的降雨也未能阻挡人们参加捐赠的热情。这是CYOC每年的传统公益活动。这个活动非常有意义：它的主要目的是收集大家的闲置物品，实现循环利用，即帮助那些生活中需要的人，为他们提供生活用品和学习用品，又能保护环境，节约资源。虽然每个人捐赠的东西并不一定十分昂贵，但每一件物品都承载着一份温暖和关爱。这次捐赠不仅让所有参与的小义工们与捐赠者们感受到了奉献的意义，也让更多人感受到了希望和世界的善意。

2026年5月24日，Capital Youth Outreach Club（CYOC）在Wootton High School成功举办了2026夏季爱心捐赠活动。最初，这项活动只是一个简单的想法：鼓励青少年和家庭整理家中闲置但仍完好的物品，让它们重新发挥价值，帮助更多有需要的人。而最终，这个想法逐渐发展成为一次凝聚社区力量、充满爱心、合作与温暖的大型公益行动。今年的捐赠活动取得了远超预期的成果。共有46名学生志愿者参与了活动的策划、组织、宣传、收集、分类及运输工作，同时得到了60多个家庭和本地小型企业的大力支持。他们不仅积极捐赠物资，也帮助活动在社区内传播和推广，让更多人加入到爱心行动中。
