This week's attack in Afghanistan made a bad situation even worse.
As evacuation efforts enter the final days and refugees begin to arrive on U.S. soil, your support is essential for thousands of Americans and Afghans.
We’ve received urgent requests from U.S. military installations and deployed Chaplains for donations to support incoming Afghan refugees and deploying troops.
Here's How We Are Responding and
How You Can Help:
We have identified 3 primary areas of needed emergency support: emergency essentials for refugees, toys and games for Afghan children, and support for those deployed or deploying.
We are collecting items as well as financial donations to support the outlined needs. All donated items can be shipped to our warehouse in San Antonio:
