The Emmaus House
On Saturday, March 27th, the Siena sophomores went to the Emmaus House, which is run by Albany Catholic Worker. It is housed by a husband and wife who have three young children, who have chosen to live among the poor and serve them in multiple ways, including having three rooms in their home open to anyone who needs a place to stay. The Emmaus House also collects toilet paper and other necessities that people cannot get on food stamps. The students were able to help them prepare all of their gardens in which they plant produce for anyone who needs food within the inner city. They will be returning to the house in April and will be purchasing some vegetables and planting them, as well as collecting toiletries and other useful items.
