Good morning, Chattanooga!
Following a few weeks of chaotic scenes from Afghanistan, last week I worked on an article about the possibility of Afghan refugees resettling in the Chattanooga area. While the plans are still in the beginning stages, the community has already shown an outpouring of support for the efforts.
“As Americans, as Chattanoogans, we’ve always opened our welcoming hands and our big hearts to people in need,” said Marina Peshterianu, associate director of Bridge Refugees Services. “Hopefully, we will be able and well equipped to do it now.”
In my article, you can read more about the planning process for settlement and learn how Chattanooga can help through donations, volunteering and building community around our possible new neighbors who have been through hard times.
