Throughout December 2022, China General Chamber of Commerce-USA (CGCC) and CGCC Foundation committed themselves to giving back to local communities through donations to children across the country in the spirit of the holiday season.
As part of their annual holiday volunteer and donation initiatives, with the support of Bank of China U.S.A., CGCC and CGCC Foundation donated a total of 900 toys to Jersey City Medical Center and the NY Governor’s Annual Holiday Toy, Coat, and School Supply Drive. The toys will be distributed to hundreds of children in New York and New Jersey just in time for the holiday season.
CGCC and CGCC Foundation also supported the efforts of CGCC-Houston and CGCC-DC in giving back to children throughout the Houston and DC areas.
On December 9th, CGCC-DC took part in the DC Mayor's Office on Asian & Pacific Islander Affairs’ (MOAPIA) annual 2022 Share a Smile, Give a Toy – Annual Toy Giveaway & Holiday Celebration. Volunteers from local CGCC member companies came together to support the event which provided toys and fun activities for underserved youth and their families in the DC area.
On December 14th, CGCC-Houston hosted its 2022 volunteer event, “Sharing a book, making a difference,” with a local organization called Books Between Kids, which supports Houston's at-risk children by providing them with books to build their own home libraries. The event gathered volunteers from member companies including: PetroChina International America, Healgen Scientific LLC, Sinopec USA, Credus Group, CO, Harmonia Capital USA, Inc., US Chinese Channel, and J-tech Digital to help count book donations, review the condition of the donated books, and help sort and box the books for school and community partner distribution.
