EMMAUS CAMBRIDGE

Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, meaningful voluntary work in a social enterprise and an opportunity to get back on their feet again. For many who ever experience homelessness one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome is a loss of self-esteem. Emmaus provides a stable home and the opportunity to regain self-worth, making a real contribution to their community.
