Proceeds will help support Emmaus-House's on going work and programs.
Our mission statement explains our ministry:
In response to God’s call, Emmaus House is a ministry of hospitality dedicated to our neighbors who are struggling with poverty and its uncertainties. We provide food, clothing and funding for shelter to families in need, helping them move from crisis to stability. We strive to eliminate the social causes of poverty that affect the people we serve by raising awareness and advocating for change.
There are more homeless people in Lake County, Illinois than most people are aware of. The Lake County Community Development Division, in cooperation with the Lake County Coalition for the Homeless,has conducted its annual Point-in-Time Count, a snapshot census of the homeless population. Data from the count has been developed into a report called Homelessness Counts in Lake County.
