Help needed as Cincinnati preps for Afghan evacuees
CINCINNATI — Up to 50 people escaping violence in Afghanistan will soon resettle in Cincinnati, joining the community here as hundreds of others find new homes in Dayton, Columbus, Toledo, Akron and Cleveland.
Shafaq Hassan, who came to Ohio from Afghanistan in 2016, said these families have likely left everything they own behind. They’ll depend on Cincinnati to become their safe haven.
WCPO reports that Catholic Charities is connecting Afghan those evacuated from Afghanistan with furnished apartments or homes as well as connecting them to transportation, food and health care. The organization will also help them find jobs.
If you have an affordable apartment, especially one near transportation lines, Catholic Charities needs your help. They also need household items, furniture and money donations.
Call 513-672-3710 if you have apartments available.
