Furniture drive July 17 to help family displaced by house fire

Lucas Elementary School Dads Engaged in Engineering Dreams (DEED) will hold a drive for furniture and household items Saturday, July 17 to benefit Craig and Kim Evans, whose family lost their home in a recent fire. Items that are in good condition may be dropped off at Lucas Elementary, 830 South Lawn Drive, Iowa City, between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The Evanses and their two sons recently moved into a temporary, unfurnished home and are in need of a wide range of items. Furniture and household goods collected during the drive but not needed by the family will be taken to Stuff Etc., with proceeds from their sale going to the Evans family as well.

A special account has been set up at Hill Bank for those who wish to make a cash donation to the family. The family is also registered at Target and would welcome gift cards from Bed Bath & Beyond, which can be dropped off during the furniture drive.

Kim Evans is an associate at Lucas Elementary.

For more information about the furniture drive, or to volunteer with the drop-off, contact DEED members Jeffrey Fields at jeffrey.fields@yahoo.com or 319-936-1750 or Joe Bell at jk.bell@mchsi.com or 319-354-2281.
