Furniture Drive April 27, 2019
St. Michael the Archangel is hosting a furniture and household item drive for Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas. Donated items will go to TurnStyles, a ministry of Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities uses furniture and household items from TurnStyles to help furnish homes for those that have been homeless or a refugee family who is being relocated in our area.
The furniture and household items that are sold at TurnStyles and the proceeds are used to fund Catholic Charities programming. Every donation helps to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, and shelter the homeless; so thank you for your generosity to help our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Please drop items off in the north parking lot at St. Michael on Saturday, April 27, 8:00 am - 1:00 pm
If you have large items that you need picked up please email Catholic Charities.
Please note we do not accept: mattresses, gym equipment, cribs, strollers, playpens, or car seats. A complete list of items we do not accept can be found at www.catholiccharitiesks.org.
Our Knights council supports Catholic Charities by picking up donated furniture during the Furniture Drive. All Knights are invited to volunteer. Click here to signup.

TurnStyles Clothing Donation Bin
TurnStyles thrift stores are a ministry of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas. Items are deeply discounted to save shoppers money, so they can afford other necessary items. Best of all, store proceeds help support the programs and services of our neighbors in need.
We have a Turnstyles Donation Bin on the north side of our property near the school building as you walk towards the church. If you are planning to donate any clothes or shoes please consider donating it to Turnstyles. -
