Coffees For Change
We are excited to announce the second series of our “Coffees for Change” meetups, hosted by our Advocacy Director, Christina Ingoglia. These casual gatherings, part of the Emmaus Community initiative, offer a space where we can engage in meaningful conversations about advocacy, address local community issues, and explore collaborative solutions.
Whether you’re new to advocacy or have been involved before, your insights and experiences are invaluable. So, come along, let us treat you to a coffee, and discover various ways to make a positive impact both locally and at the state level. We welcome staff, clients, family members, and all Emmaus supporters!
Location Updates: We’re finalizing a convenient and cozy spot for our meetups. An email with the exact location will be sent out a week in advance, please RSVP.
Looking forward to seeing you there and continuing our journey towards change together!
