October 26 Apartment Setup for an Afghan couple
Date: October 26, 2019
KindWorks will prepare an apartment for an Afghan couple on October 26 in Riverdale, MD 20737. They are arriving through Lutheran Social Services.
We invite you to join us as we transform an empty apartment into fully furnished, warm and welcoming home for them. 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!**
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. This time, we will load donations near American University starting at 10:30 am, and then unload and setup in Riverdale, MD starting at 1pm. Please join us for one or both parts!
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
