Penrickton Center is a private non-profit organization that provides care and support to blind, multi-disabled children and their families.Penrickton Center for Blind Children provides services to families at no charge, and relies entirely on donations from the community. Throughout the year Penrickton Center sends out requests for donations, and invitations to raise funds. VT Seva Detroit volunteers got this opportunity to help them assemble their Mailing Supplies items in envelopes as per their directions for their fund raising purposes.

We greatly appreciate all above youth volunteer’s awesome work and their parents support to coordinate with me for picking and dropping off their kits on time.
We are grateful that Penrickton Center was kind enough to give us 3 times this opportunity to help them in a big way towards their Penrickton Center fundraising efforts to support Blind Children.
We are also looking forward to visit their special ed school where their kids goes in Wyandotte sometimes next year once they open up for group visits.
We would definitely continue to serve Penrickton Center every year in whatever ways we can.
