On Saturday, February 7th, VT Seva volunteers assisted the Arc of Katy organization. They assisted in placing mulch in the organization’s garden and cleaning the garden beds. Our volunteers also had the opportunity to remove dried stems and unwanted vegetation, helping to restore the space. In addition to clearing the garden, volunteers assisted in creating a drainage system to support the Arc’s sprinkler system. We hope this helped the Arc in distributing water among the garden plants more evenly to ensure the plants are hydrated well. We thank our volunteers for all their dedication and enthusiasm. A special thank you to Mr. Walt for providing us a wonderful opportunity to serve and contribute to the beautification of their garden.

This meaningful day truly reflected the spirit of MLK Day—coming together to uplift, serve, and strengthen our community.
