How to Help Afghan Refugees

Hello TTW Family - there is a pressing need for believers to help with the rising number of Afghan refugees that are going to be coming to the US in the next few weeks, months, and years.  The US government financially helps refugees who are resettled, but it is not enough to survive on - and government bureaucracy can make it difficult for refugees to obtain all of the resources available to them.

There are a number of refugee resettlement agencies around the nation that are going to be in need of Christians to volunteer, donate, and pray. 

Here are a few agencies we can recommend:

If you are in the Los Angeles/Orange/Riverside area, we recommend getting in touch with Voice of Refugees, who have been working in Little Arabia in Anaheim, CA for many years.  

World Relief has offices in 11 states, and its website has volunteer and advocacy opportunities.

Church World Service has been providing relief assistance for 75 years, with volunteer locations in 17 states, there are many opportunities to serve. 

If none of these services are in your area, visit the Refugee Council USA website for a map of other agencies across the country.


God Bless,

Jonathan Ferguson
