About a hundred people showed up for a meeting Thursday night to express concerns about Afghan refugees moving to Helena. The event, hosted by Hands On Global, a non-profit agency that is helping Afghan refugees resettle to Helena, focused on the vetting process. Mayor Collins, who came to the U.S. as a refugee himself from Liberia, reiterated that those coming to Montana had been fully vetted. Hands On Global says they are collecting household items and clothing for the displaced families hoping to start a new life.
