‘A story worth telling’: Refugee Welcome Network helps Afghans settle in Hagerstown area

When the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August of 2021, six families fled and ended up in Washington County. Now, a coalition of faith leaders and volunteers have teamed up to help these refugees adjust to life in the United States. More than 20 volunteers banded together to form the Refugee Welcome Network in January to provide resources to get the refugees back on their feet.
