📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

L’association Emmaüs s'inscrit dans la philosophie du mouvement Emmaüs, fondé par l'Abbé Pierre en 1949 : agir pour que chaque homme, chaque société, chaque nation, puisse vivre, s'affirmer dans l'échange et le partage. Accueillir est l'une des premières missions d'Emmaüs. Elle accueille sans distinction de nationalité ou de religion, essentiellement des personnes en situation de rupture. Elle permet à la personne sans abri de trouver un lieu pour se reposer, dormir, se laver, se restaurer. Avoir une activité utile, reprendre un rythme de travail, acquérir des connaissances, permet de se reconstruire une vie et d'envisager un nouvel avenir. Le compagnon d'Emmaüs peut développer un véritable savoir-faire (menuiserie, recyclage de vêtements, cuisine, vente, récupération...) avec lequel il gagne sa vie. La palette des métiers au sein de la communauté est très large, allant du rippeur au vendeur, réparateur électrique, peintre, menuisier, chauffeur, cuisinier... Au-delà de ses missions d'accueil et de logement, l’association consacre une partie de ses ressources à des actions de solidarité locale et internationale, par la création depuis fin 2006 d'un chantier d'insertion accueillant 25 hommes et femmes en situation précaire autour d'activités liées au vêtement, par la création d'une épicerie sociale, par la création d'une maison relais... The Emmaus association adheres to the philosophy of the Emmaus movement, founded by Abbé Pierre in 1949: Acting for every man, every society, every nation can live, assert in the exchange and sharing. Hosting is one of the first tasks of Emmaus. It welcomed irrespective of nationality or religion, mostly people living in separation. It allows the homeless person to find a place to rest, sleep, wash, eat. Have a useful activity, work, acquire knowledge, can rebuild their lives and consider a new future. The companion of Emmaus can develop a real skill (carpentry, recycling clothing, kitchen, sale, recovery ...) with which he earns his living. The range of professions within the community is very broad, ranging from the seller ripper, electrical repairer, painter, carpenter, driver, cook ... Beyond its missions of hosting, the association devote a part of its resources to activities of local and international solidarity, through the creation since 2006 of an insertion site with 25 men and women in a precarious situation around activities related to clothing, creating a social shopping, creating a house relay ...
