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!
We are now doing a Virtual Garage Giveaway. We will have students fill out a registration, from which we will find out what kinds of things they need. We will then add them to our ISI KC Virtual Giveaway Facebook Group. Here they will see items that have or are being donated. If you would like to donate items from the list below, please send a picture of the item(s), and your contact information to: Carol Douglass
The Kind of Help needed:
People to help collect and organize the items
People with vans or trucks to help transport furniture to the students' apartments 6+
We need people to donate items for the students' apartments
You can bring NEW ITEMS TOO!! We love to give students new items!
We have even had church children's ministries and Vacation Bible Schools raise money and give brand new lamps, microwaves, rice-cookers and towels for one of the Giveaways.
Items to donate include (only lightly used and in good condition):
Furniture - Desks, tables, chairs, small side tables, bookshelves
Lamps & desk lamps
Microwaves
Vacuum cleaners
Rice cookers
Coffee makers
Blenders
Bicycles (working!)
Items not to bring:
NO DIRTY, WORN or DAMAGED things please!
Only bring items that you would want your son or daughter to use in their living space.
For a tax deduction please send a list of everything donated, along with your full name and mailing address to Carol Douglass
