ISI Furniture & More 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, no sofa or chairs!
 
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 back to having our Giveaway in person this year!  The dates this year for setup are: August 15, 10:30am-3:30pm; August 16 10:30am-3:30pm, August 17th 10:30am-12:00pm.  The Giveaway itself is August 17th, for volunteers, 1:00pm-4:00/4:30pm
 
The Kind of Help needed:

• Donate new or only lightly used items in very good condition - SEE FURNITURE & ITEMS WE ARE ACCEPTING LIST
