Drop off items needed for a Home for an Afghan Dad

July 17, 2023 @ 12:00 pm-August 5, 2023 @ 8:00 pm

Help create a home for a newly resettling Afghan dad, Ali Akhmad, who had to leave his wife and kids behind in Afghanistan, hopefully temporarily. He is currently living with 3 other men while settling in. Let’s welcome them to our community by turning their apartment into a warm and welcoming home!  Your willingness to jump in and help is truly special and deeply appreciated by this family.

We ask that items are dropped off directly with Ali as soon as possible by contacting him directly by text and arranging to meet him at your convenience.  We hope that you can participate and take advantage this wonderful opportunity to meet the people we serve and to welcome them to our community!  You can also order things to be sent directly to the him – you will receive his name, contact info and address upon your signing up for things.  (If you do that , please do let him know what you are sending, so he can be on the lookout for the package(s). 

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 with Dad and received confirmation to bring specific additional items.  With 4 men sharing an apt,  Less is More!! We appreciate your generosity and your understanding!

Safety Reminder

As with all KindWorks projects, when you register you do so with the understanding that volunteering may involve physical activity, the handling of sharp objects and cooking apparatus, the lifting of heavy objects, contact with unidentified and unfamiliar persons, and will require the exercise of reasonable care to avoid injury and/or damage, and agree to assume any and all risks of personal injury or property damage.
