Garage Giveaway - American Volunteers

Can you imagine moving to a new country with only what you can squeeze into two suitcases?  We want to assist our new international students in furnishing their apartments.  Many of these students have nothing when they come - no bed, no desk, no lamps!
 
Many of us have good things we no longer use, but we don't know how to find someone who needs them.  Well we have many students who we can help in a big way!
 
The "Garage Giveaway" is usually the third week of August.
  We hold this at Central United Methodist Church, 5144 Oak Street, Kansas City, MO, 816-753-1844.
