After the 2016 election, your solidarity was essential. When we mobilized, you joined us. When we asked you to extend a hand to your immigrant neighbors, you stretched far and wide. This is the moment to double down and increase your support and activism for AAFSC and the communities we serve. Thank you for helping us build a world where every act of unity brings us closer to justice, peace and dignity for all.

About us
The Arab-American Family Support Center (AAFSC) is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization established in 1994 to provide culturally and linguistically competent, trauma-informed, multigenerational social services to immigrants and refugees. We strengthen families through 4 key priority areas - Prevent Harm, Promote Well-Being, Prepare to Learn, and Pursue Solutions - and our work extends to communities globally. While we support anyone who walks through our doors, over our 27 years of experience, we have developed expertise serving the Arab, Middle Eastern, North African, Muslim, and South Asian (AMENAMSA) immigrant and refugee communities. Our staff speak 36 languages, including Arabic, Bengali, Farsi, Hindi, Nepali, Pashto, Punjabi, Urdu, and Wakhi. Our mission is to champion underserved individuals, including immigrants, by delivering culturally responsive services and uplifting community voices.
