Arab American Family Services (AAFS), a nonprofit social service agency founded in 2001, provides caring, compassionate, multilingual assistance to (South Suburban) Chicagoland residents. AAFS offers support in the areas of public benefits, immigration, domestic violence, mental health, and elderly services and sponsors outreach programs to build healthier families and communities. As a locally focused, nonpolitical and nonreligious agency, AAFS works to build bridges of respect and understanding between Arab-American and mainstream-American cultures. By helping local neighbors overcome personal crisis, strengthen their families, and live healthier, more successful lives, AAFS is making a profound and positive impact in our community.

 
As it continues to fulfill its mission, Arab American Family Services maintains to service the Arab American families, individuals, and those in need by providing them access to:
 

*      Public Benefits Assistance

*      Elderly Services

*      Domestic Violence Prevention and
   Intervention

*      Outreach and Interpretation

*      Cultural Trainings

*      Youth Programs

*      English Second Language (E.S.L)

*      Women and Children Crisis Fund (WCCF)

*      Immigration Services

*      and much more

 

Helping to keep families together and not having individuals lose hope in their community and society as a whole is the driving force of what continues to make Arab American Family Services what it is today. 

AAFS addresses the countless social and economic barriers that face the growing population of Arab-Americans. Our agency is staffed by Arabic-speaking professionals of all faiths who are sensitive to the religious, cultural, and language needs of Arab-American families.

Arab American Family Services believes everyone is part of the greater picture of bringing joy, security and stability to the thousands of individuals—from our board, to our staff, to our volunteers, to our donors, and to our founders. Each investment of time, resources and funds are continuously directed to identify strategic ways in expanding and enhancing programs that will impact the lives of Arab Americans and many in greater ways.  In addition, these investments have been critical to the longevity and sustainability of this organization.  This is why; the continuous effort of supporting the work of Arab American Family Services has always been appreciated and taken to great lengths in bringing valuable and tangible programs and services to those who truly want to make a difference in the lives of others.
