In order to assist in their transition, The Salvation Army, among other local organizations, is now accepting monetary donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany of these individuals came to Wisconsin with nothing but the clothes on their back,\u201d said Benny Benedict, Emergency Disaster Services Director for The Salvation Army of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. \u201cSo taking care of them is a top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funds raised will be used to purchase new items that are deemed to be the most urgent, such as clothing, undergarments, infant needs and basic humanitarian needs. Donations can be made online at <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/Evacuee\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/Evacuee<\/a> or by mailing a check to The Salvation Army of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan Divisional Headquarters, 11315 W Watertown Plank Rd. Wauwatosa, WI 53226. Please write \u201cAfghan Refugees\u201d on the memo line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny leftover funds would be used for case management, as this appears to be a long-term operation,\u201d Benedict said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also important to note that The Salvation Army is not accepting in-kind goods at this time, until further needs are assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-7702\">The Salvation Army <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Contact:Amy HandMedia Relations DirectorAmy.hand@usc.salvationarmy.orgCell: (414) 333-5418&nbsp; The Salvation Army Wisconsin and Upper Michigan Division Among Organizations To Assist Afghan Evacuees in Wisconsin FT.
