It has been over two years since the Afghan Community Center opened here in Erie. It is the first non-profit organization for Afghans in the state.
The CEO and founder Saeed Taraky says its a second home for Afghans.
The center hosts religious and cultural events. Wellness services and literacy programs are also available.
The community was looking for a sense of home, support, and closure after trauma. The center’s goal is to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for the Afghan community.
