Afghan Support Centers

Helping you get the support you need to make the U.S. your home

We are so thankful for all the providers in Seattle who helped 1347 Afghans get the support they needed during our Support Center Event on August 16-19, 2023. So many organizations came together to offer compassionate and caring solutions to these families. If you couldn't attend or have additional questions about services available to you, please review the provider list below and contact them. They are ready and eager to help you.
