In the coming week(s), we are preparing to welcome evacuated Afghan people. “People are leaving behind everything they had, and all the people in their [lives] that have given it meaning until now.” - Jane Graupman, Executive Director of the International Institute of Minnesota. (KAAL-TV) In an effort to provide some support and community, The Landline Company is collecting donations for basic necessities like clothing, hygienic products, etc. If you would like to join our effort, you can either donate goods (See Below) or contribute to our GoFundMe.
