Arab American Family Services (AAFS) will be hosting ‘AAFS’ Spirit of Empowerment Black Tie Fundraising Gala’. We will be recognizing Arab Americans and friends of the community, leaders, that have made a strong impact in our community and exemplify the strength, dedication and talent.

This event will raise funds to support the many social service programs that Arab American Family Services provides to the larger Arab American and non Arab community members who are vulnerable, marginalized and at times have very little means to sustain.Your funds will directly impact our programs, which include case management; elderly services; immigration services; English second language; domestic violence programs and sexual assault programs; mental health services, food and clothes drives and many more. These programs enhance and empower over 30 marginalized communities in the Chicagoland area.
