Afghan Families – How to Help?

Afghan families continue to be settled in Fairfax County and northern Virginia.  Their needs are great as they begin the arduous and long-term task of becoming self-sufficient. 

Several Tysons Interfaith faith communities are supporting evacuee families.  Levels of support for families range from donations, to logistical support to full sponsorship.

The faith communities of Tysons Interfaith recommend the following resources for individuals/congregations who want to help:
