VT Seva Detroit Youth Board Greeting Card Project

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!

YB GRATITUDE TO THE POLICE OFFICERS ROCK PAINTING PROJECT 2026

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.

Our team actively supported the initiative by planting trees, preparing soil, and ensuring proper placement to give each tree the best chance to thrive. During the event, we multitasked by digging planting holes, as well as carefully placing and securing trees. We also worked together to maintain efficiency and ensure all trees were planted correctly and safely. The Greening of Detroit plays a vital role in enhancing urban spaces by increasing tree coverage, improving air quality, and creating more sustainable neighborhoods for current and future generations. We are truly grateful to all the volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to this initiative. Your teamwork, responsibility, and commitment to environmental sustainability made a meaningful impact on the community.
