Fund for Afghan Immigrants and Refugees

Afghan families and individuals are arriving in the United States after a perilous journey from Kabul. They’re leaving their homeland behind, some with virtually no possessions as they begin new lives as immigrants and as our neighbors in our communities.

As Jews, we know what it's like to be the stranger, and that's why we are committed to helping those in need.

Together with Catholic Charities of Boston, Jewish Vocational Service (JVS), and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), CJP is welcoming and helping to resettle many individuals and families to Boston.

“Our families receive case management services, which includes referrals to public benefits, to English as a second language classes, enrollment of children in public schools, employment, and healthcare services...[and] cultural and social support. You are part of a movement of making life better and giving people a new chance to rebuild their lives.”

- Marjean Perhot, Catholic Charities of Boston, CJP Community Partner
