PAST EVENT

On August 24th, VT Seva Seattle conducted its annual 5K Walkathon, carrying forward the same spirit of compassion and service as the Unity Cup. The event was more than just a walk — it was a joyful celebration of unity, tradition, and purpose. From a laughter-filled scavenger hunt to the Utti challenge and the nostalgic game of Seven Stones, families, youth, and community members came together in an afternoon of play, connection, and service. Sharing stories over a picnic lunch, everyone was reminded of a simple truth: we serve with purpose, we walk together, we share love — no one is more, no one is less, we are one team, we are one VT Seva. Like the Unity Cup, the Walkathon supported our goal of building two tiny homes in partnership with Sound Foundations NW, turning every step into a pledge of hope and impact for those experiencing homelessness. We were also honored to have Barb from Sound Foundations NW join us for the occasion and present the VT Seva Service Awards for 2024, recognizing the dedication and commitment of our youth volunteers.

PAST EVENT

VTSEVA Bay Area volunteers recently came together for an impactful environmental service initiative, dedicating their time and effort to cleaning up trash along a creek in Milpitas, California. By carefully removing litter, debris, and waste that had accumulated in the natural area, the volunteers demonstrated their strong commitment to protecting local ecosystems and promoting a cleaner, healthier environment for the community. This effort not only enhanced the beauty and safety of the creek but also raised awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship and collective responsibility. Through their hard work and teamwork, VTSEVA Bay Area volunteers continue to inspire others to take action and contribute positively to the preservation of natural spaces.
