Emmaus House
"the poor serving the poor"

VOLUNTEERING COMES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES...

We welcome volunteers who believe that supporting others can make a difference in all of our lives and that hope and joy can go hand in hand with any difficult situation.


Our house/Your house has been blessed these past months with the participation of children, a new boiler, and more dedicated volunteers working to improve our physical plant and to join us on the night soup run. In March, we hope to begin our bimonthly fellowship meals and open our  “hospitality room” where clothes, canned goods, referral help will be offered as well as a hot cup of  tea and a sympathetic ear.  We have already begun handing out clothing to those referred to us. 


These are the areas that we need help with right now:


            *  "Chefs" to cook our bimonthly fellowship meals

            *  Hosts for our "hospitality room"

            Traveling Soup Run 

            *  Citi Harvest Pantry

            *  Organization of the Clothing Pantry

            *  Food Donations

            *  House Cleaning

            *  House Repairs

            *  Emmaus Mailings
