They kept coming: people carrying bags of clothes, bags of toiletries, bags of diapers and baby formula and toys and books.

All were donations for the hundreds of Afghan refugees or Special Immigrant Visa recipients who arrived overnight Saturday at Northern Virginia Community College after a harrowing evacuation from Afghanistan.

By morning, dozens of volunteers had assembled at the Annandale campus. And by noon, the piles of donations had grown so high that volunteers had to turn some away.

“I’ll take phone chargers!” yelled 22-year-old Salima Khan to the crowd of people trying to deliver donations.

“She said to only bring the duffel bags!” one woman said as she dropped them off.
