At Emmaus, we know that the people we support want to be independent.
In order to do that, they need a community that embraces their unique abilities.
For more than 125 years, as a faith-based organization, we have provided quality services, caring for the whole person for their whole life.

The problem is that services for people with disabilities are underfunded and understaffed.
