Monday February 24 Home Setup for an Afghan family

Date: February 24, 2020

KindWorks will prepare an apartment for an Afghan family on Monday, February 24. The family, with their 2yr old son and1yr old daughter, will receive support services through International Rescue Committee. The apartment will be in Riverdale, MD 20737.

We invite you to join us as we transform an empty apartment into fully furnished, warm and welcoming home for them. Please join us in unloading the truck, arranging the furniture, organizing the bedrooms and kitchen, putting together and making beds, laying out toys, and hanging art. Many hands make light work and it’s a lot of fun!**

Thank you for donating good, dignity quality furniture and furnishings. All items should be in good, dignity condition: clean, unstained, and 100% pet-hair-, cobweb- and smoke-free. Thank you for vacuuming large furniture items and all rugs prior to donation.

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

Many, many thanks!

Alexa, Sue, Diane and Kathy, KindWorks Home Setup Team
