Hi John --

We have seen so much devastation unfold in Afghanistan in the past two weeks. The people of Afghanistan are suffering because of the rise of violence from the Taliban, a drought, impending famine, and the ongoing pandemic.

To get involved and help in any way we can, we want to give you some information on how you can take action.

→ If you know anyone in Afghanistan who is a U.S. citizen and wants to leave the country, please have them fill out this form to receive assistance.

→ If you are trying to help the people fleeing Afghanistan, you can help our Afghan allies by doing airport pick-ups, apartment set-ups, or meal deliveries. Please visit this website to sign up to volunteer.

→ If you are interested in donating to the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, which is working to respond to the basic needs of Afghan refugees, you can visit this website to donate.

Here at ASPIRE, we know that the people of Afghanistan have faced significant hardships from enduring 20 years of war and losing thousands of civilian lives. As this humanitarian crisis progresses, we ask that you learn more about what's happening and, if you can, take action to help.

Thank you for all that you do.
