Altho the Afghan refugees need furniture and “home set ups” are requested,
there is no drop off site for furniture. Plus, I do not have a vehicle
large enough to get the furniture into.
Here is a link to Lutheran Social Services that is helping Afghan
refugees. The site explains how people in our area can help.

If anyone or a group nearby organizes to do a home set up, let me know.
This furniture will likely be gone by then, but I have other furniture I
can donate.
If anyone can transport this furniture from Dupont Circle to Takoma Park
in the next couple of days, I can store it for that purpose.

Sure looks like decent condition to me -- certainly for the refugees, who
aren't going to be fussy about a water ring.
Why not give it a try??

I am emptying a house in Dupont Circle and have some pieces of furniture I
have to get rid of.
They all need some work. Places like A Wider Circle want everything in
very good condition. I know furniture is being requested for refugees,
but, again, it should be in decent condition.
In case the pics do not come thru…
The first is a Queen Anne style desk that had been refinished.
Unfortunately, someone put an iced drink on it, leaving a circle, and it’s
gotten a bit more abuse since.
There is a beautiful, large square occasional table with curved legs with
minor damage to the top that should clean up.
There is a wooden rocker with ottoman that is very comfortable but needs
some attention. The wood needs to be polished up, maybe re-stained, and
the pillows cleaned or replaced. I’ve not seen it without pillows; maybe
it would be just fine without any.
There is also a small side table or mini desk. Top needs to be refinished.
If you have interest, you would need to come with a car/truck that can
accommodate the furniture.

If the pictures do not come thru, I can re-send to anyone interested.
