How does Emmaus work in Toulouse?
For 70 years, the Emmaus communities have been places of life and solidarity activities where each person welcomed, companions and companions, is both helped and helping. Community life, activity and solidarity are the three cardinal values at the heart of the project.
The three community sites in Toulouse are self-financing through solidarity activities: recovery, reuse, recycling and sale of donated items and clothing. Thanks to donors, visitors and customers, Emmaüs gives objects a second life and a second chance for people.
All activities are carried out by volunteers and employees, but above all by companions and companions from all walks of life, often after a very precarious journey. Emmaüs offers an unconditional welcome, it is an essential foundation of the association. ” There are no entry criteriaexplains Nilo Fernandez, director of Emmaüs St-Jory. In return for accommodation and meals, they take part in the life of the community, whether for a few days… or for a lifetime! continues Nilo.
In 2022, the community of Emmaüs St-Jory will grow and take up new neighborhoods near Sesquières. A large building is currently being renovated to accommodate companions and companions in better conditions. It is this project that Toulouse Football Cœur wishes to support through the organization of the collection on March 15th and the associated special sale.
