August 8 & 11 Furnishings Drop-off for an Afghan family in Manassas, VA

Date: August 11, 2020

During this Covid-impacted summer, KindWorks has an opportunity to help a large Afghan family. We are excited to provide their home furnishings; they have just secured their first apartment after having a new baby and recently arriving to the States.

In deference to the coronavirus, we ask donors to bring their items to drop-off in a socially-distanced manner to the family on Saturday, August 8 between 2 and 4pm, or Tuesday, August 11 between 5 and 7pm. Please wear a mask! We will not be going into the apartment. The family will take in all your generous donations and set up their new home.

The daughters are 14, 10, 8 and 5 years old, and the sons are 12yo, 2yo and one month old! They are receiving support through Lutheran Social Services.

Thank you for donating good, dignity quality furniture and furnishings. All items should be clean, unstained, and 100% pet-hair-, cobweb- and smoke -free. We do kindly request that you bring your donations directly to the family. We appreciate your generosity with this last minute opportunity!

When you sign up below, you will receive confirmation and reminder emails (for each item!).  Please email Alexa at aabdelatey@earthlink.net or call/text (540) 538-9696 at any time in the process if you have questions.

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 Home Setups program HERE.

Many, many thanks!

Sincerely, Alexa, Deb and Runa
