Emmaus Homes

01/15/2026

We are truly grateful to Gateway Fiber for sending a team of volunteers to support our homes last week. They jumped in to help with basement clean outs and organization projects at a few of clients' homes, and the difference they made was immediately felt by our staff and the individuals we serve. Staff shared especially positive feedback, noting how helpful, hardworking, and genuinely appreciative the volunteers were throughout the day.

Transportation Is Access. Access Is Opportunity.
Reliable, accessible transportation is not a luxury—it is essential. For individuals with disabilities, having the right vehicle means access to healthcare, employment, community life, and independence.

Emmaus is applying for multiple federally funded accessible vans through the Missouri Department of Transportation to continue meeting the growing transportation needs of the individuals we serve. These vehicles will help ensure Emmaus clients can safely and consistently access the opportunities that allow them to live full, meaningful lives.

Public Comment Notice
Emmaus Homes, Inc. plans to apply for federally funded accessible vans to meet the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities in St. Charles County. Public comments are welcome. Please contact us within 30 days at 3731 Mueller Rd., St. Charles, MO 63301, send us a direct message, or contact MoDOT at P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, MO 65102.

Merry Christmas from Emmaus 🎄

Today, we are celebrating the joy, warmth, and togetherness that make this season so special. Across our homes, clients and our Client Services teams shared festive moments filled with holiday cheer.

During the Christmas season, neighbors stopped by to share warmth, conversation, and a little extra holiday cheer. The time together created meaningful moments filled with smiles, laughter, and genuine connection.

We love that our clients get to be an active and connected part of their community — welcoming familiar faces, sharing conversation, and celebrating the joy that comes from togetherness. We are grateful for neighbors who take the time to connect and help make the holidays feel brighter, more joyful, and deeply connected.

We have a fun little update: our winner, Sarah Zull, has officially come by and scooped up her brand-new Amazon Echo Show! 🎉 We’re sending out another big congratulations to Sarah.

And of course, a massive thank you to everyone who joined in, guessed, and shared the excitement with us. We loved seeing Sarah take home her prize, and we’re so glad we got to celebrate this moment with all of you!

A few weeks ago, something happened that stopped our team in their tracks.

Dave stood up.

For most of us, standing is automatic.
For Dave, it meant connection.
It meant confidence.
It meant being seen eye to eye, not looked down at from above.

Dave uses an adaptive iPad to share his thoughts with the world. He tells jokes. He asks questions. He shares opinions. And when he stood up, he used it to tell us exactly what that moment meant to him.

Moments like this don't happen by accident. They happen when people believe every person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in living with independence and purpose.

🎉 What’s in the Box… REVEALED! 🎉

✨ Drumroll, please… ✨
An Amazon Echo Show — and we are beyond excited to congratulate Sarah Zull, who guessed correctly and won the drawing! 👏💙

To everyone who guessed, commented, shared, tagged friends, and followed along all week — THANK YOU. Your energy, enthusiasm, and support made this so much fun, and we are incredibly grateful for this amazing community.

Sarah will be receiving an 8-inch Echo Show, and an 11-inch Echo Show will be given to one of our Emmaus homes. These devices are especially meaningful in our homes because they support accessibility, independence, and connection — helping individuals stay connected with loved ones, follow daily routines, use voice commands for hands-free support, and engage more fully in everyday life.

We loved every guess and every interaction — and we can’t wait to do this again. 💙
