Emmaus House
"the poor serving the poor"

VOLUNTEERING COMES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES...

We welcome volunteers who believe that supporting others can make a difference in all of our lives and that hope and joy can go hand in hand with any difficult situation.


Our house/Your house has been blessed these past months with the participation of children, a new boiler, and more dedicated volunteers working to improve our physical plant and to join us on the night soup run. This spring, we started our fellowship meals and opened our “hospitality room” where clothes, toiletries, small household items, canned goods and referral help is offered as well as a hot cup of  tea and a sympathetic ear. 


These are the areas that we need help with right now:


            *  "Chefs" to cook our bimonthly fellowship meals

            *  Hosts for our "hospitality room"

            *  Traveling Soup Run 

            *  Citi Harvest Pantry

            *  Organization of the Clothing Pantry

            *  Food Donations

            *  House Cleaning

            *  House Repairs

            *  Emmaus Mailings


If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, call us at 212-749-9404 and leave a message for Julia or Fr. Martin.  Fr Martin can also be reached at 516-234-0463. You can also email us at emmausharlem@gmail.com

May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us --- yes, establish the work of our hands. -- Psalm 90
