Help Afghan Refugees
Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS) is scrambling to find volunteers to help our Afghan allies as they arrive in the United States. SeaTac is one port of entry (there are only 4-6 ports currently receiving Afghan allies). They need things like rides from the airport, food, and apartment set-up help. Please click the link below to volunteer, or share with others who might be able to help. Thank you.
