Volunteers Needed—Furniture Donation to Honduras
Penn Manor School District has donated the furnishings of Pequea Elementary School for use in Honduras through the direction of Central American Relief Efforts. Volunteers are needed! We expect to fill two shipping containers. Church of the Apostles has been a loyal supporter of education in Honduras—please help as you are able.

On Saturday, June 13 at 8:30 a.m., we will need to disassemble desks for space saving in their container. There will also be tables that will need legs removed for shipping. We will work until everything is ready for loading. Phillips head and Allen wrench bits will be needed.

On Saturday, June 20th at 8:30 a.m., the containers on site will need to be loaded; this work is more strenuous as lifting in required. There will also be a need for some volunteers to keep inventory as we load.

The only way we’ll be able to send this shipment to Honduras is if we can recruit enough volunteers for each Saturday. About 20-25 volunteers will be needed each weekend. Volunteers are being recruited from a variety of groups and Church of the Apostles’ presence has been significant in past efforts. If you can help either or both weekends, please contact Andy Appel at (717) 490-0093 or andyappel@epix.net and specify the day(s) and time(s) you are available. If you have friends or family who may be willing to help, they will be more than welcome! We will be meeting at Pequea Elementary School, which is located at 802 Millwood Road, Willow Street, PA 17584.
