Emmaus Center is a faith-based organization that “goes down in the hole” to raise people up out of their life circumstances. It does this through an ongoing relationship with the people they serve. Emmaus Center is a place where the forgotten people of our area can come and share in the life of the community.
Through this life in community the people develop a sense of self-worth, and a range of positive relationship skills that assist them in rising out of the life situation they find themselves in and re-enter back into society. We believe that people will rise to a better life when they begin to believe they have something of value to give back by serving others.
We serve between 1200-1500 meals each month to anyone in need
We distribute over 1.5 tons of canned goods, baked goods and breads each month to anyone in need

We have licensed counselors (LCSW-C, CCDC) and board certified pastoral counselors (BCPC) who offer their services free of charge to the people who become a part of the Center activities
