February 22, 2025 at 9:00:00 PM
VT Seva Cary – Monthly Volunteer Meeting (February 2025) While not an official volunteering event, VT Seva Cary volunteers came together for our monthly meeting to learn more about VT Seva’s mission and impact. This gathering provided a meaningful opportunity for new and returning volunteers to understand how service initiatives are started, how to integrate themselves into our community’s volunteer network, and how each individual can contribute to creating lasting change. Beyond learning, the meeting was filled with joy and connection. Volunteers participated in interactive games and team‑building activities that helped them get to know one another, strengthen bonds, and build a spirit of collaboration. The atmosphere was one of enthusiasm, curiosity, and shared purpose. For the month of February, 55 youth volunteers participated in this meeting, making it a vibrant and inspiring start to the year. This gathering not only deepened awareness of VT Seva’s vision but also inspired volunteers to take initiative, develop leadership skills, and explore creative ways to serve. By combining education with fun, we strengthened the foundation of our volunteer family and set the stage for impactful service in the months ahead.

We would like to thank our youth volunteers for making this years Valentine’s day a very special one for the seniors at Meals on Wheels by showing their love and support through the Valentine’s Day Cards making and Protein Shake collection event! Your kindness has certainly touched the hearts of many and will make someone’s day brighter. We had 58 volunteers sign up for the Valentine Day cards and were able to deliver a total of 232 beautiful and creative cards. The ask for protein shakes from Meals on Wheels came at the last minute. Knowing that they won’t receive any hours for this activity, we had 7 youth volunteers sign up and they were able to donate more than 70 bottles displaying a true act of kindness.

On Friday, October 10, VT Seva Cary once again hosted another recurring fall service partnership with the Miracle League. Ten of our dedicated youth volunteers joined this inspiring initiative, which offers the opportunity for children with special needs to partner up with a youth volunteer, and play an exciting game of baseball. This pairing fosters unforgettable moments filled with joy and excitement. The Miracle League is committed to creating inclusive spaces where every child can participate.

Our volunteers brought energy, compassion, and encouragement to the game, helping create a day filled with smiles, teamwork, and connection. VT Seva Cary is honored to continually support this mission and looks forward to future events. Together, we are bridging gaps and building a community where every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
