More than 100,000 evacuees from Afghanistan are arriving in the U.S. and Hennepin County is aligning with Minnesota's statewide response to prepare for those who will settle here. Arriving families will be assisted by the state, counties, resettlement agencies and a variety of partners to prepare for life in Minnesota.

You can help: Evacuees will be coming with few belongings. IHM will be collecting Laundry Soap for evacuees that are in the metro area. Laundry soap is one of the most needed items. Please bring to the table in the Gather Space or the table outside of the Parish Office.

Online donations are welcomed, too. Hennepin County Volunteer Services, in partnership with the agencies listed above, has set up this Amazon wish list, where anyone can purchase and contribute items ranging from diapers to Uber gift cards. The items you purchase will be delivered to a central location and agencies will distribute them to families as needed. Receipt acknowledgements can be provided for tax deductions.

Questions? Contact Kimberly.LaRosa@hennepin.us or Shira.Rabinowicz@hennepin.us for more information or help using the wish list.

Volunteer and donation opportunities are also available at this State of Minnesota site.
