VT Seva Detroit conducts Bake sale for the Feeding Hope Program

Hunger remains one of the most pressing challenges in our world today. To support VT Seva’s Feeding Hope Annadanam Program, which provides nutritious meals to visually challenged students at Nethra Vidyalaya schools, colleges, and Tribal schools in India, Avni Patel, Arav Patel, Dhruvi Shah, and Shraya Ved came together to organize a bake sale.

The event was held on August 2, 2025, in our subdivision. With the help of our parents, we baked and sold brownies, cookies, scones, banana bread, and fresh lemonade. Posters and flyers helped spread the word, and on the day of the event, we spent the afternoon from 1 PM to 6 PM interacting with neighbors, sharing information about Feeding Hope, and selling our baked goodies.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised $1,150, enough to provide over 9 days of meals for all the visually challenged students at Nethra Vidyalaya Institutions and Tribal schools in India.
