Inika Keranahalli Youth leader of the Maryland VTSeva Branch lead the event, which took place on October 18th from 8:00 am to 12 pm at West Frederick Middle School. Here is a small write up about the event from Inika. We are very thankful we got a very good opportunity to volunteer and help people in need during this clothing drive. All the volunteers of VT seva Maryland helped to sort the clothes by size and type, then arrange them neatly on the tables and racks. It was a bit of hard work at first because there were so many donations, but it felt good to see everything organized and ready for families who came in. When people arrived to pick out coats and clothes, We helped them find the right sizes and made sure everyone got something warm for winter. Seeing their smiles and hearing their thank-yous made me feel proud and happy that I could make a small difference. It was a great experience that taught me how teamwork and kindness can really help others. The event's success was largely due to the support of dedicated volunteers. Special thanks to My mom Ms. Shwetha and Ms. Sobana Vasudevan for their valuable contributions. Also to our volunteers Mahati Konduri, Bhavya Y, Anwesha Parida,Arjun C.
