Our 2nd annual furniture drive and giveaway for international students was a big hit in August 2022!
Last year, the event gave us a great opportunity to welcome, support, and connect with over 110 international students right off at the beginning of the semester! For many students, the furniture they received from the event were the first pieces of furniture in their apartments. We were able to continue to make meaningful connections with many of these students and their friends throughout the rest of the school year! We couldn’t have done it without the donations, truck driving and loading, and support of community members and churches before and during the event! Thank you! Now, we need your help through furniture donations and volunteering at the Furniture Giveaway on August 25, 2023 in order to generously welcome the new international students moving to Springfield this August.
We will be accepting donations up until August 19, 2023 and need to fill spots on multiple volunteer teams to help make this event happen!
