FCCR is a long time supporter of Emmaus, Inc.; over the decades we have provided meals, collected toiletries and linens, and given cash donations from our Benevolence funds. In addition to emergency shelter, Emmaus provides affordable housing, career services, health and wellness classes, and financial independence classes to promote self-sufficiency. More than 2000 women, children and men are served annually to assist them from homelessness to permanent housing and employment.
