On 2/21/2026, our organization had another exciting and unforgettable moment. Four board members of OCScommunityUnited: Vice President Hong Xin (Ben) Zhu, Treasurer Alex Weng, Secretary Olivia Lin, and Membership Chair & Event Coordinator Ziwei (Derek) Zhao presented a 10K big check donation to our local Chinese school doing the Lunar New Year celebration. Our president, XiaoWen Zhu, was there in spirit and will continue supporting the organization while at college.
This milestone reflects the months of dedication and teamwork. Our organization is incredibly proud of the impact our $10K donation will have on our school’s education. This completely aligns with the organization goals and values of giving back. Looking back at our journey, we are so thankful our supporters. During even the hottest summer weekends, we were out at farmers' markets and flea markets getting funds instead of being at the beach. Our team has endure 100 degrees weather to go door by door for support and funds. Our work goes beyond fundraising. We have personally delivered 40lb crates of noodles to restaurants and teamed up with local businesses for charity sales to make sure our community has the resources it needs. We have also given back to the environment through integrated eco-friendly practices—like collecting recyclables from local businesses and growing plants (from the small seedlings to mature plants) for our funds—into our outreach. Our efforts have paid off. At OCSCU, we’re showing that with enough grit and compassion, we can create better change into the community. So thank you to everyone who continues to encourage and support our journey!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
