Donations

The Chapel Internationals is very grateful for those who are willing to donate things for International students. We are looking for the following furniture items: Twin beds, desks, desk chairs, couches or small sofas (love seats are preferred), end tables, kitchen tables and chairs, living room chairs and kitchen supplies (utensils, pots, pans, glasses, dishes, and cups).

We will take the furniture that is donated and give it away to internationals so that we can help many new Internationals that arrive in Akron Ohio with no furniture for their apartment or rental home. We do not take anything you plug in or electronics (no computers, TVs, stereos, phones, appliances, etc.).

If you want to donate some furniture please email Todd. All donations are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt for your donation.
