Afghan Support Network is Oregon’s first culturally specific nonprofit dedicated to supporting Afghan refugees, immigrants and Afghan-American communities. Since 2021, ASN has been enabling the well-being of Afghans through community, advocacy and support — delivering education, healthcare and housing navigation, employment services, legal and immigration navigation, and culturally grounded programs across Oregon and SW Washington serving over 1,900 households. The Annual Afghan Cultural Celebration 2025 was a vibrant outdoor gathering that honored Afghan heritage and brought communities together in a spirit of unity and belonging. Held on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025, at the Beaverton City Hall Plaza Stage, the event welcomed more than 600 enthusiastic attendees from across the region. The event featured: 🎶 Live Traditional Music 🎭 Community & Children Performances 📖 Poetry & Storytelling 🛍️ Afghan Vendors & Business Exhibitors 🎨 Afghan Arts & Cultural Exhibits 🍴 Food Booths With Traditional Afghan Cuisine 🎤 Keynote Speeches by Local Leaders. Through events like this, ASN continues to strengthen cultural identity, foster connection and build a future where Afghan communities thrive and contribute to the success of the broader society.
We have people that came here with literally nothing. I picked up people that had half their shoes, the other half was broken and wasn’t there. And those folks are succeeding right [now] and they’re paying their taxes and they’re supporting other folks.
