Muscle Mover!
LSS needs strong bodies to help us with setting up homes for newly arrived refugees. (It's a great opportunity to show off show of your big heart and your big muscles at the same time!) These opportunities are a good way for small groups as well as individuals to get involved with our services.
We need muscles to help with any of the following:
1. Help pick up donations so that we can set up a home for a newly arrived refugee family. We are especially in need of people who are available on Mondays.
2. Set up an apartment for a refugee family.
3. Sort through our storage facility and help us with inventory so we can be prepared to set up homes as soon as refugees arrive.
