In May 2026, VT SEVA Detroit youth Board members collected around 150 pairs of gently used shoes to support VT SEVA Detroit Feeding Hope program. Collected items were carefully sorted by the youth leads to bag and ship them to *"GotSneakers"* organization. These shoes will help reuse, recycle, and donate the items to benefit children, low-income families, and the homeless in underprivileged countries. If these donated pairs are in Excellent condition, *"GotSneakers"* will compensate us with some $'s, and all funds collected through this drive will be donated to *VTSEVA "Feeding Hope" program*.

VT Seva Detroit wishes Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there! As we turn to the season of celebration, it's important to keep those in mind who don't get to celebrate as much as we do. For Mother's Day 2026, VT Seva Detroit youths came together to create beautiful Mother's Day and thinking of your cards for the women of Manoogian Manor. These amazing ladies often do not get the chance to celebrate Mother's Day, and we are so grateful to have been able to make a difference in their lives and hopefully brighten their day as they are reminded that they are loved during this time of year. We love to see their smiles every year as they read through our cards and cannot wait to do this again next year!

IAE VTS Club came together to make Mother’s Day Cards! These cards were sent to residents at the American House Somerset Senior Living Home.

We’re so proud to have been able to brighten someone’s day with thoughtful messages and handmade cards.

Every year, VT SEVA Detroit takes a moment to express heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated police officers serving the Novi community. As a small gesture of appreciation, members visit the department each May, bringing along thoughtful goodies to thank the officers for their commitment and service. This year, the Youth Board members added a special, creative touch to the tradition. Demonstrating both talent and compassion, they hand-painted colorful rocks and crafted personalized cards to share with the officers. Each piece reflected a message of appreciation, making the gesture even more meaningful.
