We are a non-profit group in Lake Zurich, Illinois who are working hard to help those around us who are hungry and struggling to stay in their homes.  We began in 2000 feeding 12 people on a Sunday night and have grown so much that we fed more than 9,000 people in 2008. 

Our mission statement explains our ministry:

In response to God’s call, Emmaus House is a ministry of hospitality dedicated to our neighbors who are struggling with poverty and its uncertainties.  We provide food, clothing and funding for shelter to families in need, helping them move from crisis to stability.  We strive to eliminate the social causes of poverty that affect the people we serve by raising awareness and advocating for change.
