In the months of July and August, 15 VTSEVA Detroit Youth Board volunteers participated in making 5000+ FORGET ME NOT flowers for the veterans at DAV( Disabled American Veterans) DAV volunteer program. The FORGET ME NOT flower is meant to serve as a symbol of remembrance for servicemen and women and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We were able to make these in take home kits and make them on their own time. It was so rewarding to make these flowers knowing they were going towards a good cause!!

In the month of September, VTSEVA Detroit Youth Board did an Essential Workers Appreciation project. The Essential Worker Appreciation Project was a meaningful initiative that engaged youth participants in creating personalized cards and small gifts to thank essential workers such as mail carriers, nurses, janitors, and grocery staff. The combined efforts of the youth worked to make this project a success. The photos capturing the hand-off between our youth and the workers shows the gratitude shared between participants and workers, showing how small gestures of kindness can create a powerful impact and spread positivity throughout our community.!

Our VT Seva Detroit youth volunteers spent the morning serving at the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit, an organization that provides meals and support to homeless individuals, low-income families, and senior citizens in need. Together, we served over 350 people! The group worked side by side packaging meals and assembling trays that were later distributed to underprivileged members of the Detroit community who rely on the soup kitchen daily. This experience gave our youth a new perspective on the importance of helping those in need while also highlighting the power of teamwork and compassion. We are very proud of our volunteers for dedicating their time and energy to make a difference!
