Food Donations for Frontier Fighters Project10/31/2022 Updated 10 October 2022
Co-founder Rebecca Meng is one of the two starters of Food Donations for Frontier Fighters. In the peak of quarantine (2020), healthcare workers were overwhelmed by a major influx of patients and faced intense exhaustion, not to mention they were directly fighting in the front lines of the pandemic. To show her appreciation for these essential workers in the medical force, Rebecca and another friend contacted a variety of Chinese restaurants to ask if they were interested in donating food to the local hospital. By the end of the week, she picked up the 20+ takeout donations and hand-delivered them to the Reston Hospital. This project has been continued over the course of two years. Rebecca hopes that by collecting food for the doctors and nurses to enjoy, her appreciation for their hard-work was showed.

Mid-Autumn Festival10/2/2021 In order to promote Chinese culture at the mid-autumn festival in BASIS Independent McLean, a volunteer activity was organized by the Chinese mandarin class club. Some of our classmates and their parents joined this volunteer, and they creatively designed and made traditional and modern, innovative lanterns with riddles on them. We collected dozens of lanterns, delivered them to our teacher, and hung them in our school. Our teacher held an activity of guessing riddles, and our classmates loved it!
