Local community organization steps up to support refugee families during COVID-19

On September 12th through the 20th the IRC in Dallas celebrated Welcoming Week.

The IRC seeks donated vehicles to assist Afghans and other refugees arriving in Charlottesville and the surrounding area.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Salt Lake City has dedicated the past two years to helping over 600 Afghan evacuees resettle to Utah after fleeing upheaval in Afghanistan at the end of 2021. The Hilal family is one among the many families who graduated from the IRC programs. Ayazudin and his wife came to the United States with their six kids. They remember packing their life into just four bags and escaping to the U.S. with $100 total in their pockets.
