  • Let’s Volunteer: 5-7 on-site man/woman power + perhaps $20/ month donation per family. Let’s keep looking for opportunities. 

Volunteer opportunities; 

  • Possibly on January , 2026: Meals for Ronald McDonald House in Westchester; Confirm dates for Blythedale children’s hospital / Ronald McDonald house in westchester- cooking meals for family (15 people total), either cook on site or restaurant pick up, must be ready by 5pm. ( it looks like no one is signed up for holidays; thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas , New Year’s Eve days, so we are looking into January.  Bill can’t do on Sundays, weekdays are tough for everyone. Perhaps Saturday or Sundays are preferable. We will look at dates on next meeting.

  • For December: possibly gifting 40-50 ‘animal printed pillows (possibly with “God loves you” sign) to children’s hospital : hyunjung will order pillow cases from timu. Our budget is $20 per family x 7=$140.  However, the pillow is $2 x 50= $100.  Printing “God loves you” with mid Hudson Korean Methodist church sign might cost $50 and pillow inserts $50.  So we might need $40 per family(combine November + December fees).
