CAN YOU HELP newly arriving international students with gently used housewares and furniture?
Northmont, through its Mission Committee, has supported PRISM for many years. PRISM (Pittsburgh Regional International Student Ministries), located in Bellefield Presbyterian Church in Oakland, uses the opportunity of students coming to Pittsburgh from around the world to conduct international ministry right here at home! PRISM offers evangelical hosting, pastoral counseling, and intercultural education experiences to international students and visiting scholars studying at universities in the Pittsburgh area.
PRISM conducts an annual “Garage Giveaway” (https://prismpgh.org/donor/), accepting donations of used goods that are still in good, fully functional condition and making them available at no cost to each year’s crop of new students. They're looking for: Desks, Tables, Chairs, Small Furniture, Small Appliances, Kitchen Items, Linens (No large furniture, TVs, computers, baby Items, or sharp knives)
2025 donations are received at Bellefield Church August 12-14 for the giveaway on August 16. Folks can drop them off themselves at that church, but Northmont’s Mission Committee is also available to pick up your donations at any time prior to those pickup dates. For more information or to arrange a pickup, please contact Ted Mills (412-742-0556, millsfam78@gmail.com).
