Holy Trinity School’s Refugee Home Setup with KindWorks

Date: April 24, 2020

KindWorks and the Holy Trinity School community will welcome a refugee family arriving soon to the United States by preparing their new apartment home. We will learn the specifics of the family’s country of origin and children closer to their arrival and our setup dates.

Thank you in advance for donating good, dignity quality furniture and furnishings. All items should be clean, unstained, and 100% pet-hair-, cobweb- and smoke -free. We request that you bring your donations directly to the setup, as we have limited capacity to pick up and store furniture ahead of time.

Eighth Grade students from the Arrupe and Romero Houses will transform an empty apartment into fully furnished, warm and welcoming home using items donated by the Holy Trinity School community. In just a few short hours, they will unload and arrange furniture, organize the bedrooms and kitchen, put together and make beds, lay out toys and hang art! Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun!**

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 program HERE.

Many, many thanks!

Sincerely, Alexa, Sue, Diane & Kathy, KindWorks Home Setup Team

**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 you agree to assume any and all risks of personal injury or property damage.
