 The Emmaus Mission Center is a 501(c)3, non-profit, multi-denominational social service agency that was established to provide support for marginalized families and individuals within a fifty-mile radius of Cass County, Indiana.
In 1994, a former school complex, consisting of a church, rectory, and educational building was purchased. The rectory was converted into a state licensed Morningstar Girls’ Home. The renovated former school houses the emergency housing shelter, corporate office, and crisis center. The Benevolence Center serves as a food pantry, clothing, and household goods distribution facility.
The Mission clientele typically includes elderly people attempting to survive on minimal income, single parents unable to provide for their children, those homeless for various reasons and recent arrivals attempting to make a new start in the United States. Most are “working poor” and on the brink of financial and familial disaster. |

 Morningstar Girls’ Homes provide a safe, quality, affordable and accessible long-term residential care for up to ten girls’ ages 0-21. Residents are identified by their resident county Divisions of Family and Children and probation.
 The program also accepts private placements from social workers and treatment facilities (in some cases pro bono).

 The Benevolence Center is the distribution point for clothing, bedding, furniture, and household items to families and individuals in need.
 If able to pay, we ask $1 per bag of clothing and $2 per coat. If unable to pay, we will gladly help those in need.
