Emmaus House is an interfaith ministry that feeds 200 + hungry people Monday – Friday. It’s on the first floor of the Christ Church Parish House on Abercorn.

CLEAN UP DAY Nineteen volunteers showed up early Saturday morning to weed and clean up the north end of the farm and parts of the organic section.
