November 17 Volunteer Event

Our 2023 Volunteers loaded a Uhaul with household furnishings and moved them into the homes Ruth’s Refuge clients. Unsurprisingly, they were TOTAL PROS!

The Ruth’s Refuge volunteer event is back by popular demand!

On Sunday November 17th, an LFC Brooklyn crew will gather to move furnishings into the nearby apartment of a Ruth’s Refuge client. This could mean anything from loading/unloading a delivery truck to assembling furniture (details to come as the event approaches). Ruth’s Refuge provides furniture and home essentials to refugees, asylees and asylum seekers rebuilding their lives in New York City. Our 2023 volunteers loved the opportunity to support and welcome these newcomers, so, we go again!

Sign up below to make the most of our last international break of the year, do something nice just before Thanksgiving and perhaps soothe your soul if the state of the country/world has you feeling…disheartened. Note, space for this event is limited.

NOTE: we are at capacity for this event but please sign up and we’ll notify you if a space becomes available.

LFC Brooklyn is proud to support Ruth’s Refuge. Refugees and asylum seekers arrive in New York City with rich and varied life experiences but few tangible assets. Many recently settled families are unable to furnish their homes, often sleeping on the floor as they work to pay off debts, find jobs and otherwise struggle to make their way in an unfamiliar city. The goal at Ruth's Refuge is to welcome these families by providing them with apartment furnishings and other home essentials in partnership with local resettlement agencies.
