What is #GivingTuesday?

#GivingTuesday is a national online giving campaign occurring on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as a way to begin the giving season and give back to the causes and issues that matter to you. This year, #GivingTuesday takes place on November 30th, 2020.

By participating in #GivingTuesday, you can spread awareness and give back. Your donation to Emmaus will allow us to continue to ensure a high quality of life for men and women with disabilities in the greater St. Louis community!

An Essential Employer…

“I get what I want. If I need personal stuff like toothpaste or medicine or something, they  (Emmaus) get it for me,” says Lisa, someone we support.

Emmaus is an essential employer in your community. This means that there are no off-days for the work we do. We are there for our clients 24/7. Without your help, Lisa and others won’t have the resources they need to live their daily life.

An Investment in the Lives of Others…

“I get most of the things I want and do things I enjoy doing. Like watching tv, decorating during holidays, going to the mall, and writing to my sister in my notebook,” says Lisa.

A gift to Emmaus is an investment in the life of Lisa and others who need you. Without your generosity, Lisa and others we serve have limited opportunities to do activities that they enjoy.

An Industry Leader…

“My friends and family support Emmaus because they like the organization. They trust Emmaus because they know it (Emmaus) takes care of me,” says Lisa.

Emmaus Homes is an industry leader. Your gifts to Emmaus will pave the way to a higher quality of life for people living with developmental disabilities. Without you, Lisa and others won’t have the resources they need to live their daily life. Because without Emmaus, it would be hard for Lisa to live independently just like you.

A Mission Driven Organization…

“Emmaus helps me with everything I need. I always get the things I want to live my best life,” says Lisa.

Without an organization that’s passionate about making Lisa the author of her own life, she and others who need Emmaus may get lost in the shuffle.

People with developmental disabilities can even face negative outcomes without the right support. And we can’t provide that support without your gift.
