A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this year’s first Lunches with Love event at Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) such a success! 🙏🏽 30 brown bags were packed and dropped at Dell's Children hospital. Special shout-out to our adult volunteers who jumped in early, kept the lunch packing going, and supported the team while our youth volunteers were arriving—your dedication truly made a difference. It was heartwarming to see VTSeva volunteers of all ages come together to serve families with love, compassion, and teamwork. 💕 We’re grateful for your time, energy, and spirit of service!

PAST EVENT

Shout-out to everyone who volunteered at the garden today! 🙌🏽 The morning was cooler, the energy was great, and the impact was meaningful. One of the highlights was seeing our youngest volunteer (9 years old!) learn about what the RR Service Center does and how VTSeva supports the center and the surrounding community. Moments like these truly reflect the spirit of service and learning we aim to foster. 💚 Overall, it was a successful and rewarding morning! 📅 Starting next month, garden volunteering will be back to the 1st Saturday of every month. We look forward to seeing even more volunteers join us next month as we continue serving together.

PAST EVENT

The holiday season is all about spreading joy to everyone around you. However, not everyone experiences this spirit. By using our time and resources to raise money, we are able to help bring cheer to our community! On 12/17 and 12/19 VT Seva Detroit volunteers visited the Laurel Park Place Mall to ring bells for the Salvation Army. Singing Christmas carols and making small talk with passer-byers, we were able to bring in donations from mall visitors and bring Christmas cheer to not just the mall visitors, but also the less fortunate who gain so much from the contributions of the Salvation Army. Every year, we are so happy to end our year with this event. It brings smiles to so many faces and warmth to our hearts. We can't wait to have this opportunity again in 2026!
