Can you imagine moving to a new country with only what you can squeeze into two suitcases?  New students/scholars are in this situation and have nothing when they come - no lamps, desks, bookcases sofas or chairs!  The ISI Home Goods Giveaways are a very practical way to help them and show love.

Signup to help, and recruit others too! This important outreach needs lots of help to show the love of Jesus to these newly arrived internationals from around the world. The Giveaways are for KU MED, and AVILA UNIVERSITY new arrivals.  
 
Be a part of helping them experience His love in a very tangible way!!


For a successful Giveaway, we need help during the setup days to unload and organize items. On the day of the Giveaway, we need volunteers to help it run smoothly, plus drivers of vans, trucks and trailers to deliver items to the students' apartments.
