By the end of the event, Hospitality House confirmed that 4,931 pounds of food were contributed to the people we helped regarding food assistance! Our team actively supported pantry operations by restocking shelves with food products and helping customers with actively picking out their groceries. During the shift, we multitasked primarily by assisting customers in selecting food items, considering some products had limits and others depended on family size. Additionally, we restocked food supplies to ensure everything was readily available for those visiting the pantry.

On February 22nd, 2026, VT Seva Cary volunteers assisted the Asha Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting children with developmental disabilities by creating a welcoming environment for learning and social connection. Our 6 youth volunteers participated in the Best Buddies program by spending time with the children through games and interactive activities that encouraged engagement and friendship. Volunteers also helped children with physical disabilities by assisting with movement and ensuring they could comfortably participate in the activities. Although it took some time for everyone to warm up, the volunteers and children soon began interacting and enjoying the experience together. The event created a fun and supportive environment for the children while allowing volunteers to form meaningful connections and positively impact the community.
