Unprecedented offers of help to Shropshire refugees group
Shropshire Supports Refugees says it has had an unprecedented amount of offers of support or donations for Afganistan refugees.
The group says it is particularly looking for Islam-appropriate clothing and is urging people to be patient as it organises storage and how best to distribute items.
"Thank you for caring so much and reaching out with your generous spirit," a spokesman for the group said.
Women's clothing being sought includes long tops and coats, closed shoes (not sandals), warm jumpers and cardigans, leggings and new underwear.
Men's clothing includes trousers and jeans, shirts, jackets and warm coats and new underwear and well as shoes. A general appeal for children's clothing and shoes has also been made along with duvet covers, sheets and pillowcases, large pots, pans and bowls, games consoles and good quality televisions.
"When we have families in the county a further appeal will be made for things like toys and other household goods."
