Emmaus House

Mission Statement

"Emmaus House works to improve the economic and social wellbeing of the residents of Peoplestown and our surrounding neighborhoods."  

Emmaus House seeks transformational change in the lives of individuals, within communities, and in the systems that shape them. We equip people who experience the effects of material poverty, race inequity, and educational disparities to thrive. 

Values Statement

Emmaus House stands for justice and equity, rooted in faith and a deep respect for the dignity of every human being. We harness the power of community, education, hope, and love to dismantle poverty, racism, and other barriers to opportunity in the lives and communities we serve.
