Communauté Emmaus Narbonne is a local branch of the international Emmaus movement, which was founded in Paris in 1949 by Catholic priest and Capuchin friar Abbé Pierre. The movement aims to combat poverty and homelessness by providing support and opportunities for those in need. The community in Narbonne collects, repairs, and sells second-hand goods, including furniture, household items, clothes, and more. These activities help fund housing, employment, and financial aid for the most needy. The name 'Emmaus' is symbolic, derived from the biblical story of the town where Jesus was seen by witnesses after his resurrection, representing hope.
