2020 Christmas Drive
December 23, 2020, was the Almond Blossom's very first Christmas Drive. Volunteers brought gifts, holiday cheer, and joy to the families at the New Hope Church in Apopka Florida. Organized by Liping, Ernest, and Ethan Zhang, 30 families in the Apopka community received a beautiful Christmas experience.
Along, with gift giving and caroling, families and volunteers shared a wonderful warm meal together, bringing a united and joyful close to the 2020 year.
Here are volunteers (left to right) Nico Gompal, Ernest Zhang, Ethan Zhang, Philip Yong, and Frances Yong, preparing the church dining area with table clothes, decorations, and organizing gifts.
The great successes of this Christmas drive have paved the way for future drives and charity events that the Almond Blossom Initiative will organize. Thanks to the great leadership from the Zhang family, notably, Ernest, Ethan, and Liping, they created the blueprint for the Christmas Drives in the years after.
The Almond Blossom is proud to have formed a deep connection with the New Hope Church and is dedicated to supporting the local community. We stand by our mission and are excited to continue this drive and new drives in the years to come.
