Join Us for the AAFS Spirit of Empowerment Gala! For over 24 years, Arab American Family Services (AAFS) has been a staple in our community—founded by two Muslim women Nareman Taha and Itedal Shalabi who saw the urgent need for accessible social services for families facing religious and language barriers. Today, AAFS continues to empower, serve, and uplift thousands across our community.
