Temple Israel’s Refugee Support Project is preparing to be the support team for an Afghan family which will be settling in Turners Falls sometime in late December.
We expect that 2 families will be placed in Turners and we will have charge of one of them. We were told we would have short warning and can expect to activate in late December. No more details yet, as to number, gender et al.
