Celebrating Volunteerism 2021
#Limitless is all about celebrating how we as volunteers and as an organization have broken boundaries and made 2021 our biggest year yet. Our volunteers proved that even a global pandemic couldn’t stop their fire to serve our community and make an impact.
With fun trivia questions, interactive activities, and messages from benefitting organizations, it truly was a trip down memory lane.
We gave all the volunteers an opportunity to reflect upon their experiences with VT SEVA in 2021, and how their volunteering made a positive impact in our communities.
In the year 2021, our volunteers have put in 35,000 hours hosting 217 events despite the fact that the pandemic was playing havoc, and most of the world was in the virtual realm.

VT Seva Seattle hosted the 5th Annual walkathon on Aug 14th, 2021 at Ron Regis Park, Renton. This year, the team has adopted the cause of homelessness and started their walkathon a month before virtually and completed it with an in-person finale. The goal is to walk to end homelessness and raise funds to support the needs of homeless people.
We have successfully raised a total of 5K and donated the sum to DESC.
