Arab American Family Services was founded by two dedicated women in 2001.  Itedal Shalabi and Nareman Taha envisioned an organization that will empower and enhance the lives of many in need From day one, they realized that such an organization was essential to meet the needs of the many families and individuals who for far too long have suffered tremendously.   It was obvious that people needed someone to understand them, to speak their language, and most of all to provide them with greater opportunities to create better lives—it was then that Arab American Family Services (AAFS) was created.  

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.
