The book drive was conducted to support the local community in Charlotte. The volunteers set up a booth to collect new and gently used books. The overall drive was a huge success, the volunteers collected a total 450 books. They were then driven to the shelter and handed out. It was very heartwarming to see how many people were in need of a basic necessity such as books. Overall, it was a very heartwarming experience that the volunteers are looking forward to conducting such events again.

On March 13th, 25 Atlanta VT Seva youths and 5 adult volunteers participated in the ‘Meal By Grace’, a food ministry that sorts, packs and delivers food to the needy in Forsyth County in northern suburbs of Atlanta. Lambert School youths and other VT Seva youths worked on Produce, Breads and Load teams. As part of Produce team, they sorted produce, cut fruit and loaded boxes with variety of fresh produce - salad mixes, vegetables such as onions, potatoes, squash, fruits such as bananas, strawberries, herbs and eggs. The bread team loaded bags with different kinds of bread, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls and other desserts. The load team helped unload the pantry truck, put frozen meats in each box for the needy families and then, loaded the boxes in cars for delivery to the families. Our group delivered food to 5 families at the end of service. This personal experience of helping someone in need directly was enriching and gratifying for all the volunteers.

With an intent to help those in need, 20 of our VT Seva volunteers, both teen and adult, participated in a program called “Meals by Grace” on January 22. Meals by Grace is a no-cost program designed to help children and families in need. The volunteers worked to sort, pack, and deliver food to families in Forsyth county. Those who were a part of the “Breads” team loaded bags with various types of bread, such as cinnamon rolls and sandwiches. The “Produce” team sorted and cut fresh fruits and vegetables and packed boxes full of them. Finally, the “Load” team put frozen meat in boxes and helped stack all of the boxes and bags into cars for delivery. Our volunteers were directly involved in helping more than 68 families in our own community, from packing to delivering. VT Seva is thankful that we were able to be a part of this gratifying experience and service those experiencing food insecurity. We will continue to aid those around us with a caring heart and open mind.

VT SEVA Charlotte organized a stream cleanup on June 17 at Freedom Park to keep the park and surrounding stream free of unwanted trash. Through the efforts of 12 youth volunteers and 10 adult volunteers, they collected 10 bags of trash filled with items like metals, plastics, and glass. These materials could harm animals and the environment causing a disruption in the ecosystem. These cleanups really help the local community’s environment become safer and healthier for animals and humans.

On Saturday, October 31, 2020, VT Seva Houston had the first session of a new series, the Career Exploration Series. The Career Exploration Series is part of the newly launched VT Seva Houston Youth Mentorship Program. The goal of the program is to provide a platform for our youth volunteers to build the skills necessary to become leaders, include planning, communication skills and real-world experience through community outreach events and projects. The Career Exploration Series is a platform to introduce our youth to the career planning process and to different fields such as medicine, law, finance, engineering, information technology and more. This first session with 40 registrants was highly informative and interactive. We look forward to continuing to bring great programs forward in the future!
