Some of the Afghan refugees at Fort McCoy will be leaving soon.
Commanders at the fort last week gave some of the nearly 13 thousand refugees a pre-departure briefing. That included information on traveling inside the U.S., and what the Afghans can expect when they arrive at their new homes.
Meanwhile, some of the Afghans at Fort McCoy are moving to new homes and have already made that trip. Karmen Lemke of Catholic Charities of Green Bay says they’ve settled seven refugees into new homes in Brown County. She expects to get nearly 50 refugees in all. Lemke says her group has helped with the basic necessities, as well as job seeking advice. There’s no word just where Brown County’s refugees are living.
