Sign of an EmmaÃ¼s store founded by AbbÃ© Pierre, under the name of EmmaÃ¼s stores

Founded by AbbÃ© Pierre, the Emmaus shops were created with the primary goal of combatting poverty and homelessness. The core purpose is to provide a self-sustaining community for people who have been socially excluded.These shops collect donated goods, which are then sorted, repaired, and resold by the community members, known as companions. This activity offers them not just work and a place to live, but also a restored sense of dignity and purpose. The revenue generated from the sales funds the communities' living expenses and supports various solidarity projects.
