Drop off items needed for a Home for an Afghan Family of 4 in Alexandria

September 1, 2023 @ 9:00 am-September 10, 2023 @ 8:00 pm

Help create a home for a newly resettling Afghan family, a household of 4, mom, dad and two toddlers (ages 1.5 and 2 years old). 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 will be deeply appreciated by this family.

We ask that items are dropped off directly with the family as soon as possible by contacting Mom directly by text and arranging to meet them 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 Mom – you will receive her name, contact info and address upon your signing up for things.  (If you do that, please do let her know what you are sending, so she 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 Mom and received confirmation to bring specific additional items.  The family is living in a small apartment, so 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.
