We are a group of volunteers who are helping the Afghans who helped our Canadian Forces Ottawa and are currently looking for housing as they have now received their Canadian documents. They have begun settling the Afghan refugees and some of the families are large.
Please note we are not asking or accepting clothes and are only providing furniture to the families. We also ask that items be washed, clean and not torn.
Here is the wish list:
Everything for the kitchen (pots, pans, cutlery, toasters, microwaves, spatulas, dishes, glasses, mugs, etc). Kettles for boiling water are especially needed.
Beds - mattresses and box springs - cribs, singles, bunkbeds, double and queen size (singles are in huge demand). We are not accepting king size beds at the moment.
Bedding - sheets, blankets, pillows, pillowslips
Dressers
Sofas and living room chairs
Dining table and chairs
Lamps
Desks (not large ones please)
In short - just about everything but clothes and king size mattresses.
Please contact Afghanmove2022@gmail.com or the BCUC office at (613) 820-8103 to arrange drop-off.
