MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

For the past fourteen years, I have been honored and humbled to lead Emmaus House after the passing of my uncle, the late Father David Kirk. We strive to continue his mission of serving our neighbors in Harlem. At Emmaus, we treat all equally and serve with humility. Please join us as we continue to share compassion to our community. Your time, talent, and treasures are the best gifts to your neighbor.
