Emmaus believes in the potential of each person.

Our Kids Cafe, named for Sister Augusta Hamel, OSB, a longtime advocate for the poor and the hungry, who believed that hungry children cannot learn, cannot develop, cannot reach full potential. Sister Gus’ Kids Cafe is one of over 1,000 Kids Cafes throughout the country, sponsored by Second Harvest Food Bank.

At Sister Gus’ Kids Cafe we serve approximately 50-70 inner city children, ranging in age from 6-17. This after school program provides a nutritious kid-friendly meal Monday through Friday from 2:30 – 5pm. In addition to the meal we offer help with homework, game and activity rooms as well as gym activities.
