**MV Teens Relaunch and First Donation Drive – November 16, 2024**

We are excited to share that the relaunch of MV Teens at the Marathi Vishwa Diwali event on November 16th, 2024 was a tremendous success!

We had a fantastic turnout, with our MV Teens stepping up and assisting wherever needed. The scope of contributions far exceeded the tasks and expectations initially outlined. Thank you for the incredible support from our community for the MV Teens FIRST Donation Drive of hygiene products. We are grateful to each and every one of you who donated items, cash or contributed through Zelle. We raised a total of $200 which was used to purchase toiletry items. Thanks for your generosity. On November 21st, 2024, all the hygiene products were delivered to the Matawan Community Food Pantry.

A special thanks to Niranjan Mulay and Shailesh Karkhanis for their dedicated work as MV Teens Coordinators.
