Welcome to the Emmaus Community of Pittsburgh
A Community that Serves Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
and Promotes Public Awareness of Their Needs

"When an individual comes to live at Emmaus, they come for life! We make a commitment to care for that person with dignity until the day they die. We walk the road of life together, sharing our lives and breaking bread while recognizing each other's gifts and talents. When I started working at Emmaus fifteen years ago, I knew almost immediately that I had found my niche in Social Work and in life. I felt like I was home. Emmaus is not merely a program but it is a way of life.

Our Community serves people who remain the most vulnerable in our society. Yet they have so much to offer and to share. Emmaus provides permanent homes, supported apartments, respite care and advocacy so that everyone one who comes to us has a chance to lead a full and meaningful life. I know my life has more meaning because of Emmaus, and I invite you to come and see how you too might make a difference."

- Karen D. Jacobsen, Executive Director
