On November 16, the Capital Youth Outreach Club (CYOC) held the 2025 Fall Donation Drive at Thomas S. Wootton High School. The drive collected items from community members, including clothing, shoes, toys, household items, furniture, school supplies, art materials, and laptops. These donations will support underserved families and students in the DMV area.

The CYOC 2025 Fall Donation Drive was a great success! This was the second time Ruichen and I hosted the event. We organized our first donation drive in the summer of 2025, and this time Kevin also joined us as part of the organizing team. Even though we already had experience, we still learned a lot and worked even better together.

Rockville, MD, November 2, 2025 — As the U.S. federal government shutdown extends beyond one month, many federal employees in the Washington metropolitan area are struggling to make ends meet. With two consecutive missed paychecks and rising living costs, families across the DMV region are facing growing financial hardship, including concerns about putting food on the table.

On Sunday, November 2, I had the privilege of participating in a Special Food Distribution Day organized by So What Else as part of their Federal Worker Relief Program. The event took place at the Food Rescue Bank, located at 4924 Wyaconda Rd, North Bethesda, MD, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The goal of this initiative was to support federal employees and contractors affected by the government shutdown by providing them with fresh food, essential supplies, and hot meals prepared with care and love.

Today was a truly memorable day for all of us in the Capital Youth Outreach Club (CYOC) Chamber Ensemble. Since our official founding on September 1, 2025, we have been rehearsing regularly, and this was our first community performance. We were honored to visit the CCACC Academy (Chinese Culture and Community Service Center), where we shared our music with about 50 preschoolers and 60 day camp elementary students.
