TVM scholars from two middle schools helped raise awareness of volunteerism on Veteran's Day by working at the Alameda County Community Food Bank to prepare food bags for organizations supporting families with emergency food needs. The scholars appeared on a local news station to kick off a Thanksgiving food drive benefitting the food bank. With the help of local sports team cheerleaders and a news anchor, the TVM volunteers prepared food for over three hours for those in need. TVM is a Union City organization focused on academic excellence, cultural awareness, financial literacy, and healthy living for youth and families.
