There has been no shortage of people wanting to help those in need in our community. As Waterloo region prepares for Ukrainian refugees to resettle in the area, community members are once again stepping up to help.
An estimated 1,800 Afghan refugees could move to Waterloo region over the next two years, which means regional resettlement partners must prepare for increased demand on services.
Many Afghan families are being supported by grassroots community initiatives but a lead volunteer says they can’t keep doing it alone and more support is required.
