Jan 27, 2020 Home Setup for 3 Generation Russian Family in Rockville, MD (NOTE DATE CHANGE)

Date: January 27, 2020

On January 27, KindWorks will prepare the apartment for a Russian family arriving through Lutheran Social Services. The family includes grandparents, a mother and a 5 year old (grand) daughter.  Mom has finished medical school and so will quickly be making important contributions within our community!  Let’s welcome them all by surrounding them with all that they need to feel at home the minute they walk into their new home!

Please join us in Rockville, MD as we transform an empty apartment into a fully furnished, warm and welcoming home for them. Due to scheduling, we will work quickly as the family arrives the same day of our setup! Many hands make light work!**

Please email Alexa at aabdelatey@earthlink.net or call/text (540) 538-9696 with any questions.  When you sign up to bring donated items and/or help arrange the apartment, you’ll receive confirmation and reminder emails with location information.

If you would like to participate but are unable to bring items or volunteer, please consider a financial donation in support of the KindWorks Refugee program HERE.

Many, many thanks! –  Deb
