As an follow-up on her presentation last week, Melissa Henricks from Save Our Allies provided links to two DHS recommended websites people can go to to assist with sponsoring an individual or family:
Two local agencies in Wausau to contact would be ECDC https://www.ecdcus.org/ and New Beginnings https://newbeginningswi.org. These organizations are working to settle refugees within 50 miles of Wausau (which includes Wisconsin Rapids).
In addition, Rotary International has been asked by the federal government to assist with settling the Afghan refugees currently housed at military bases. More information as to how we can help will be forthcoming.
