Emmaus House

Emmaus House is a Homeless Shelter, Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen.
We can house 29 people. We have two men's dorm, a women's dorm, and two family rooms. If you are needing shelter call 620-275-2008 or go to the police station in Garden City and ask for a referral. Everyone staying has to pass a background check to ensure safety for staff and clients alike.

Morning Services, which includes breakfast, showers, access to laundry facilities, mail, and phone messages, are available from 6am until 8am, seven days a week, year-round. No advance registration is required.

Winter Sheltering services are available from October 15 through April 30 for any adult in need. Dinner and breakfast, a safe place to sleep, storage space for personal belongings, phone and mail service, access to showers and laundry facilities, and meetings with case managers are all provided free of charge. Intake is from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily. All residents must be checked in by 7:00 p.m. unless prior arrangements have been made. In order to stay at the Emmaus House, residents must abide by basic behavioral rules.

Transition Program residents work closely with Emmaus House case managers to determine what has led them to homelessness, and what steps they must take to overcome their situation. Transition Program residents must live drug and alcohol free, pay a weekly program fee, and abide by a budget and savings plan. To qualify for the Transition Program residents must have sustainable income that can be verified and an obtainable transition plan. Program residents have the opportunity to stay in a semi-private dorm room, and have some schedule flexibility. The year-round transition program has a maximum stay of nine months.
