Clean Love Hygiene kits to women and young girls who are homeless, live in poverty or are survivors of domestic violence or human trafficking. While most hygiene kits do not include feminine hygiene products, Clean Love kits do! And they need lots of volunteers help to assemble pack these kits. These Hygiene kits includes a purse, toothbrush, toothpaste, Deodorant, Sanitizers, Moisturizers, Tissues, and Sanitary napkins.

PAST EVENT

On May 17th, we at VT SEVA Cary Volunteers participated in Miracle League as buddies where we supported special needs kids such as kids with autism to play baseball. We helped the kids to run around the baseball diamond and also helped them catch the ball in the 2 separate games we participated in. Baseball can encourage them to communicate and also helps with their motor skills. While helping the kids, we understood how determined they were and how involved they were to participate and play in the game and not let their team down. This unique experience helped me understand the kids with special needs and how wonderful these kids were. We would definitely want to participate in such opportunities again.

The volunteers help restore the area's native plant diversity by removing invasive species, so that there are enough nutrients for native plants. Restoring native plants and vegetation also helps the native wildlife and insects thrive as they depend on these plants for food and shelter.The volunteers also help out by cleaning the existing creek of trash and debris that are harmful to the creek habitat.
