Last week, around 60 Afghan refugees flew into Tulsa International Airport. More are expected to arrive in Green Country this week, months after they were evacuated from Afghanistan in August.
Employees and roughly 800 volunteers with Catholic Charities are coordinating food, furniture, and other home goods into apartments for refugees. The youngest employee was 11-year-old Tristyn Cummings. Tristyn said it’s important to help.
“I love serving and helping people. I’ve been decorating and loading things into the trucks, that’s mostly what I’ve been doing,” said Tristyn.
