Citrus Grove Fundraiser at Chinese Community UMC!

One of the goals of YCVM is to establish income-generating activities that will provide funds for the orphans' education and construction of the school. One of the activities identified is a 1200-tree citrus orchard that will generate enough income to put the 11 orphans through school.


On September 28th, Chinese Community United Methodist Church held a luncheon to raise awareness of this need, and to kick off a fundraising campaign to gather funds. CCUMC, which is located in Oakland, CA, is a major supporter of YCVM's ministries.


CCUMC has committed to fundraising the $6000 necessary to seed this project. Donors purchase 10 trees for $50, and then hang a commemorative orange onto the tree. When all of the oranges have been hung on the tree, the fundraising goal will be reached. Please donate generously to enable YCVM to self-fund the orphans' education!
