Education & Outreach

Emmaus promotes public awareness of the needs of people with intellectual disabilities while offering assistance to individuals and families seeking support.

The Emmaus mission calls us to share our lives with one another.

Every time we welcome a new resident at Emmaus, we commit to providing the highest quality of care to that person for the rest of his or her life. That means sharing meals, working together, holding celebrations, facing our challenges, and building friendships. We value the unique gifts that each of our residents brings to this Community.
