KARK:
In the wake of the U.S. military’s exit from Afghanistan, thousands of refugees were left without home countries. A Northwest Arkansas group plans to help refugees who come to this area.
Joanna Krause is the Executive Director for Canopy NWA. She said the organization expects to welcome Afghan refugees soon.
“We are preparing to welcome Afghan families,” Krause said. “We’ve been told to get ready, that they may arrive very soon, that we may have as little as 40 hours of notice before a family comes. So, we’re really looking to tap into our community.”
