It's Furniture Season at CSF! We are now collecting furniture donations and enlisting volunteers for our 4th annual CSF Furniture Giveaway on Friday, August 23rd 2024.
This event gives us the opportunity to meet and bless new University of Illinois Springfield international students and their friends. These students fly from across the world to Springfield often looking for friendship, resources, and support in adapting to a different culture and settling into our city. The CSF Furniture Giveaway continues to provide connecting points between our staff, CSF community, and local volunteers that lead to later meaningful connection, rich community, service, discipleship, and leadership development with these same international students!Please pray for this event and CSF's ministry to international students as you consider donating towards or volunteering at this event!
