Resurrection has a long history of welcoming, housing, and loving international students, often facilitated through ministry partner Global Connect: Philly.
Students are slowly coming back to University City after being sent home for the duration of the pandemic, and we want to bless them! With storage space newly available at the Woodland Property, and students beginning to ask if we can help them furnish their empty apartments, we have an opportunity make a big difference, particularly those coming from places where the cost of living differential makes furnishing an apartment daunting.
Are you downsizing? Have more than enough stuff? Here's how you can help!
1. Donate your gently used items (see list below).
2. Don't have items, but have time and access to a vehicle? Could you help those who can't do a drop off? Email Lyn to let us know.
