Wednesday, October 25 Apartment Set-up for Refugee Neighbors

Date: October 25, 2017

Please sign up below to provide the items needed for our set-up of an apartment for an Afghani refugee family of four sisters: two adults in their early 20s and 2 girls in their early teens. 

KindWorks is thrilled to be partnering with National Community Church and the Lower Montgomery Women Who Care philanthropy group. Thank you to these amazing community partners, so dedicated to community and to service!

National Community Church is kindly storing the large, recently donated furniture. We will begin the setup around 9am at a Hyattsville storage unit to load our rental truck. The apartment setup will begin around 11am. It’s really fun to arrange everything, and we hope that you can stay to help when you drop off your items! If you are NOT able to bring your items on Wednesday, please contact Alexa. We have until Friday midday to finalize the setup and add additional items as needed.

Please email Alexa at aabdelatey@earthlink.net or call/text (540) 538-9696 if you have any questions. 

Many thanks!

 

**We have a last minute need for two box springs! Alternatively, we could use two bed frames that don’t require box springs. Please sign up if you have either box springs or bed frames and especially if you can transport to the apartment in Riverdale on Wednesday (or Thursday). Thank  you!
