U.S. Faith Groups Unite To Help Afghan Refugees Resettle

Several philanthropic groups have come together to provide Afghan refugees with food, clothing, legal assistance and even housing.

America’s major religions and denominations, often divided on other big issues, have united behind the effort to help receive an influx of refugees from Afghanistan following the end of the United States’ longest war and one of the largest airlifts in history. Among those gearing up to help are Jewish refugee resettlement agencies and Islamic groups; conservative and liberal Protestant churches; and prominent Catholic relief organizations, providing everything from food and clothes to legal assistance and housing.
