The mission of Emmaus Women's Shelter is to provide refuge, restoration, and reintegration to homeless women and their children.

 
 

Please help us save trees (and money!) by signing up for our e-newsletter. Emmaus Women's Shelter holds your privacy in the highest regard, never releasing email addresses to any vendor and keeping our communications to a minimum – you will rarely receive more than one communication per month. Sign me up!

 
 
 
 
 

The WishList for Emmaus Women’s Shelter is pretty much the same as the wish list for any home. Remember that we have as many as 26 people in the shelter facilities!
