Do you have any furniture, pots & pans, towels, sheets or blankets you can donate?
Refugee furniture/household goods donation pick-up day Friday, September 9, 2016
St. Vincent Catholic Charities is currently receiving an unprecedented number of new arrivals into the Lansing area with approximately 140 new refugees per month (50 is the usual average). The greatest need right now is for furniture and household goods along with a fast and efficient way to receive these goods and set them up in new houses.
In order to provide compassionate support to these families, Presbyterian Church of Okemos is planning a donation pick up day and is inviting members of all churches in the Meridian Township/East Lansing Area to participate.
Here’s how it works, if you have any of the following: Dining tables, chairs, sofas, dressers, living room chairs, dishes, pots and pans, towels, sheets and blankets. Please email Charles Gonzales at gonzalc@stvcc.org with a description of your item, your address and phone number, and Charles will create a route and get you scheduled. Please be home at your scheduled time on Friday, September 9 to provide your donation to the drivers.
All of your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you for continuing to welcome refugees.
