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 in New York City. The Arab-American Family Support Center addresses the unique needs of low-income, immigrant and refugee communities across the city through a variety of programs, services and activi
ties, including:
• Emergency financial assistance for those most at risk
• Food security initiatives to alleviate hunger
• Trauma-informed case management support
• Early childhood development programming to support caregivers and their children ages 0-3
• Legal services to ensure families are knowledgeable about their rights
• Civic engagement opportunities and increased access to the participatory budgeting process in NYC
• COVID-19 vaccine education and outreach to marginalized communities
and more! While we support anyone who walks through our doors, over our nearly 27 years of experience, we have developed expertise in serving the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) immigrant and refugee communities.
