March 26 Apartment Setup for 3 Generation Congolese Family in Gaithersburg MD (Copy)

Date: March 26, 2019

On March 26, KindWorks will prepare the apartment for a Congolese family arriving through International Rescue Committee. The family includes a grandmother, mother and 4 (grand)children, 2 young women (22 & 16), a young man and a boy (22 & 11).

Please join us in Gaithersburg, 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!

Sincerely, Alexa Abdelatey & Sue Cohn, KindWorks Apartment Coordinators
