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!
