Continuing Services During Covid-19 Pandemic

Here is a list of the services we are continuing to provide in the midst of the health and economic crises caused by the novel coronavirus (Covid-19). Please continue to check back for updates.

In our help center, we continue to offer vital services remotely: Prescription co-pays, rental assistance, and other services are still available on a limited basis.

While Youth on the Move is not in session, our staff reaches out to students to ensure their well-being and to offer them snacks, access to Wifi and other resources. We continue to plan for our summer Freedom School program with the hope that we can meet by then. If not, we are working on alternative plans to help our children with their literacy needs.

While utility shut offs and evictions are on pause, they will not go away. People will fall even further behind in the months to come. We plan to be here to help people to stay in their homes. Likewise, children who already struggle with literacy will fall even further behind during this time away from the classroom. Our summer programming will be more vital than ever as we help children to improve their functional reading levels and to avoid summer reading loss.

Now, more than ever, we rely on the generous support of our community to help us continue with our mission. To support Emmaus House during this troubling time, please click here.
