“Last year, we supported an Afghan refugee family – to help them settle in Montgomery County, MD with furniture, clothing, and household items. We collected the items, rented a storage unit to hold them until the family was ready to move and then furnished their home. We also conducted collections of non-perishable personal items for a local immigrant/refugee organization”
