Home Setup for our new Afghan neighbors: Family of 6

Date: September 25, 2021

KindWorks will prepare an apartment for an Afghan refugee family in Riverdale, MD on Saturday, September 25 at noon.  They will receive support services through the IRC.  Help us make their new apartment a warm and welcoming home, filled with all that they will need to start their new lives together!

Come for an hour or two to 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 note that all volunteers should be fully COVID vaccinated, and will need to be masked while inside the apartment.**

Thank you for donating good, dignity quality furniture and furnishings. All items should be clean, unstained, and 100% pet-hair-, cobweb- and smoke -free.

The total setup usually takes about 2.5 hours from start to finish, depending somewhat on the number of volunteers and the quantity of furniture.

Please email Jean (jeanschlesinger99@gmail.com)  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 support HERE.

Many, many thanks! – Deb and Jean (KindWorks Home Setups Team)
