Furnishing a Home for an Afghan family

Date: March 20, 2020

In this unusual time of coronavirus, KindWorks would still love to provide the furniture and furnishings for an Afghan family arriving this week. They have 4 children, a 14yr old daughter and 3 sons, ages 6, 12 and 16. This family will receive support services through Lutheran Social Services.

So…let’s Do Kind Works while Socially Distancing! The major furniture donor has arranged for her items to be delivered directly to the apartment; thank you!! We will meet OUTSIDE the home of the bed donor (you will receive the address in the confirmation and reminder emails when you sign up below!), and you can load your donations quickly and directly into a Uhaul truck on Friday, March 20, between 10:30-11am. The extended family will unload and set up for their newly arrived cousins.

Thank you for donating good, dignity quality furniture and furnishings. All items should be in good, dignity condition: clean, unstained, and 100% pet-hair-, cobweb- and smoke-free.

Please email Alexa at aabdelatey@earthlink.net or call/text (540) 538-9696 at any time in the process if you have questions.

Many, many thanks!

Deb & Alexa, for the KindWorks Home Setup Team
