The Road to Emmaus story in the bible (Luke 24:13-32) is where we got our name; Emmaus Homes.

We are delighted to share the exciting news that Emmaus’ very own Direct Support Professional, Winnie Ndarua, is a recipient of the 2020 Direct Support Professional COVID Hero Award from the St. Charles Coalition of Service Providers. This award is designed to recognize those individuals who have demonstrated consistent dedication and who are frequently going above and beyond their typical day to day responsibilities specifically during the time of COVID. Winnie is one of our DSP’s who worked part time. When the COVID crisis hit our area at the end of March 2020, Winnie began working full time hours to support a client who was having a lot of physical and behavioral health challenges.
