May 11 Apartment Setup for Afghan Family with 2 daughters in Riverdale, MD

Date: May 11, 2019

KindWorks will prepare the apartment for an Afghan family with 2 young girls on Saturday, May 11. They are arriving through the International Rescue Committee. 

Please join us as we transform an empty apartment into fully furnished, warm and welcoming home for them. Come for an hour or two to 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 Abdelatey & Sue Cohn, KindWorks Apartment Coordinators
