Volunteers and Donations Needed

Linen Care
If you were traveling to Columbia from another country to attend USC, you don't have room to pack bed linens. We lend furniture, home furnishings and lends to international students. Sometimes there is minor mending to be done to the linens before they are loaned again, as well as laundering them.
If you are willing to help get linens ready to use, call Sig Childers at 799-3477.

Furniture, Home Furnishings and House Item Donations
We need all of the above to lend to international students, who return them when they return to their home countries. If you have items to donate, please call Claude Huguley at 787-1850 to arrange for pick-up.

Truck Pick-Up and Deilvery of Donated Items
If you have a truck and are willing to pick-up donations for delivery to students, please call Claude Huguley at 787-1850.
