The Emmaus Ministry provides a complimentary hot meal to 100-150 downtown neighbors. Each Thursday, we need a total of 14 volunteers for shifts of 1-2 hours, between 10 AM and 2 PM to ensure our guests receive a warm welcome.

Please consider signing up to arrange a beautiful flower assortment one Sunday during the year. We are offering a simple flower arranging class for up to four people at a time, to ensure that everyone feels empowered to participate.
