Read More PAST EVENT VT Seva Atlanta Cone up for a cause On November 21st, VT SEVA South Forsyth High School hosted our community fundraising event, Cone Up for a Cause, at Jeremiah’s Italian Ice on Peachtree Parkway. From 3 PM to 9 PM, students, families, and community members stopped by throughout the afternoon and evening to enjoy Italian ice, gelatis, and soft-serve while supporting a meaningful mission. At the counter, guests used the code VTSEVA, allowing 20% of each purchase to go directly toward our initiative. Our goal for this event was to raise awareness about the fight against drug abuse while also generating funds to support the impactful work being done at Emory Rehabilitation Hospital. Although the event maintained a calm and steady flow of visitors, each contribution counted, and every purchase — big or small — helped push our mission forward. The atmosphere was warm and encouraging, with volunteers greeting guests, sharing information, and fostering a sense of community involvement. The funds we raised will be donated to Emory Rehabilitation Hospital, where they will help support patient rehabilitation, treatment access, and ongoing recovery support services. For those inspired to extend their support beyond the event, additional donations can be made through Emory’s official giving page.🏥♥️ Ultimately, Cone Up for a Cause was more than a fundraiser; it was a moment for our school and local community to come together, enjoy something sweet, and support a cause that genuinely matters. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared the event, or contributed in any way. Your support helps us continue creating positive impact, one event at a time.

Healthcare VT Seva is dedicated to supporting healthcare initiatives. From mental health services and cancer awareness walkathons to informative sessions in the USA, VT Seva's India branch, Vikas Tarangini, organizes numerous workshops focused on women's health under Mahila Arogya Vikas program. This initiative aims for early detection of cervical cancer, offers assistance for diagnosed cases requiring further medical or surgical intervention, and conducts awareness and education programs to help women recognize signs and symptoms of various cancers. Additionally, under the Arogya Vikas banner, camps are organized for Pediatrics, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, and Dentistry. Moreover, the India wing also offers Ayurvedic healthcare services. How You Can Help: - You can donate directly to healthcare camps here (once you click on the donation form, you can choose "health care" for one-time or recurring donations). Why Donate?

Prashanthi Velaga, Austin I am filled with gratitude and joy to be a part of a program, which uplifts and supports young people who embody resilience, determination, and talent in every sense. These students are not defined by their challenges, but by their remarkable abilities, spirit, and aspirations. Feeding Hope is our way of standing beside them—not out of charity, but out of respect and solidarity for their hard work and pursuit of excellence. It’s about making sure that their basic needs are met so they can continue to focus on their education, goals, and dreams. Leading this initiative in Austin has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s not just about fundraising for meals—it’s about building a bridge of care, connection, and shared purpose. I see the patrons of this program provide a powerful message to the students with every contribution - We see you, we believe in you, and we’re with you.Thank you, VT Seva, for the opportunity to be part of this beautiful journey. I look forward to continuing our efforts and expanding the impact of Feeding Hope across our community. Revathy Tadepalli, Detroit It's very heart touching to see the video message.
