Friends General Conference (FGC) is getting its Arch Street office ready for sale. The organization is looking for homes for most of its furniture and supplies. Before attempting to sell the items, Friends General Conference is offering them for free to Friends’ meetings, organizations, and schools if the items are picked up at 1216 Arch Street.
Below is a partial list of items. Dimensions and photos can be supplied if requested from FGC. There is office construction taking place right now and everything is covered in dust, so a note that all items would need to be cleaned. If someone would like to come peruse the items while staff are in the office, they can give the office a call.
Youth programs supplies: sit-on/rolling toys, assorted craft supplies, and more. Contact Cai Quirk, 215-561-1700, ext. 1555 or caiq@fgcquaker.org with questions or to arrange a time to come look.
For all other items (first come, first served), contact Susan Lee Barton (215-561-1700, ext. 3008 or susanleeb@fgcquaker.org) with questions or to claim something.
