Help Needed to Ready the Transition House
New Life Covenant Church and Catholic Charities have found a house in the Sherman Oaks area that will serve as the Transition House for newly-arrived refugees! The house is just what is needed, with four bedrooms and plenty of room for storage. Further details will be coming soon.
To help prepare for Moving Day, we need to begin identifying the furniture and household items to be donated to the house. Catholic Charities has provided the list of basic needs, and I am beginning to look for sources of these items. Which is where our wonderful congregation can help! Please check your garages and storage units and even with friends and neighbors. If you can provide any of the items listed below, please email Andrea Lee (andrealee@newlifesanjose.org) or post a comment to this entry and we will follow up with you as soon as possible.
Items Needed:
6-8 Twin Beds (mattress, boxspring and frame at a minimum)
small dressers
2 portable cribs (pack-n-play, etc)
Baby items (diapers, wipes, etc)
Car seats (for all ages up to 6, but babies especially)
Lamps (table and floor)
Clocks
Dining room and/or Kitchen Table and chairs
Small couches (2-3 needed)
Bookshelves
Radio
Television
VCR
DVD player
Clothes (all sizes, particularly women and children)
Bath and Kitchen towels (used are ok if clean and no stains)
Kitchenware (everything from pots and pans and dishes and bowls and flatware to small appliances and utensils)
Linens for beds (new preferred but lightly used and very clean is ok)
Blankets
Large clear bins with lids for the garage supplies
Small corner entertainment unit or TV Table
Large Rug - 8x10 if possible
Items that must be purchased:
Toiletry items (soap, shower gel, shampoo, razors, etc)

Kitchen staples (rice, beans, pasta noodles, etc)
We expect to be able to move in before the end of July. Contact Andrea if you need help with pickup of your items. Thank you once again for all your help!
