About This Event
Two local organizations are coming together to create something magical!
Help DVIP/RVAP furnish and decorate our six new transitional townhome units in Johnson County. We’re partnering with the amazing Houses into Homes to make things as seamless as possible for donors, neighbors, clients, and each other!
Read more about the townhome project here: Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Services shares plan to build townhouses for survivors
Construction of the units is nearly complete, and as we prepare to welcome families into their new houses it's now time to make them homes. We'll furnish each one intentionally, and to reduce both cost and waste, most of the furniture in the homes will be gently-used and refurbished. Among the long list of needs, each 3 Bedroom Townhome requires 3 dressers and 3 nighstands. If possible, we would love to provide these bedroom items new and lovingly built by neighbors this late summer evening.
Learn more about Houses into Homes' Dresser Builds by watching the video below.
There is no cost to join us on August 11, however registration is required so we can plan accordingly. We hope to build some of the furniture outdoors but if the weather doesn't allow for that there might be a registration limit, so sign up now!
To cover the cost of the new furniture, we hope to raise $150/dresser and $50/nightstand, for a total of $3,600. You can make a free will donation when you register or that evening, and teams can fundraise and give even if they aren't available that evening.
If you are a business or organization interested in sponsoring the event, or providing food/drink for a fun evening, please write to directors@housesintohomes.org. All funds raised will be used exclusively to support the townhome project.

5:45-6:00pm: Registration and Gathering
6:10pm: Welcome & Instructions

- Build ready-to-assemble dressers and nightstands in teams of 2-4
