Help create a home for a newly resettling Afghan family, a household of 3, mom and 2 boys aged 3 and 4 years old. They are settling into an apartment in Silver Spring,  Maryland.  Let’s welcome them to our community by turning their empty apartment into a warm and welcoming home!  Your willingness to jump in and help is truly special and deeply appreciated by this family.

There will be a few spots for people to help with setting up the apartment on Monday March 27th between noon and 2pm. All others can either drop off during those hours, or contact Julie to make arrangements to drop off over the weekend before.  We hope that you can participate and take advantage  this is a wonderful opportunity to meet the people we serve and to welcome them to our community!

For more information, contact email Julie, the setup lead for this project.

Donation Guidelines

Furniture must be in very good condition, with no chips, tears, or stains. Other household goods should be new or very gently used. In addition, all donations must be clean and completely free of pet hair, cobwebs, and cigarette smoke. For donated bed linens, package same-size linens together in a bag or box that is labeled with the bedding size contained therein. 

Please only bring those items for which you have signed up unless you have been in touch and received confirmation to bring specific additional items.   The family is very large and the apartment very small.  Less is More!!  We appreciate your generosity and your understanding!
