Co-Sponsor a Refugee Family! Wausau is preparing to welcome and resettle Afghan refugee families toward the end of 2021 and continuing throughout the next year. A brand new branch office of the Ethiopian Community Development Council, Inc. (ECDC) is in the process of setting up operations and recruiting local volunteers to play a vital role in the integration and core service needs of incoming families.
