A place to call home
A documentary produced by Think Films for ABC Compass aired in April 2020, to an audience of 540,000 people Australia-wide, making it one of the highest-rating episodes of the season.
The documentary “A Place to Call Home” offered an intimate and heartfelt insight into our unique community, the feature shows Al’s journey as he was led to build Emmaus Community.
At Emmaus, our community is at the forefront of everything we do. We’d love your help to share the story of Emmaus Community by holding a film screening fundraiser. You can have as little or as many people as you like! To help you, we’ve crafted an Emmaus Fundraiser Screening Kit. This is a great opportunity for you and your community to come together and hear the Emmaus story while supporting our work.
The Emmaus Community difference
Our unique social housing model offers a safe and supportive long-term community for those who call Emmaus home. As a community, we share meals and regular events – there is always a friendly shoulder to lean on.
Having a home is the most important thing in anybody’s life and we know the positive impact this has on those who live with us in our community. This impact extends to the wider community and the state.
Raising money for our community
Emmaus Community is built upon the generosity of our friends. We appreciate every in-kind gesture and dollar we receive. To continue helping the disadvantaged and expand our work, we have fundraising targets in place to help achieve our goals.
