Fripe Emmaus

Fripe Emmaus Reims is a local branch of the Emmaus France movement, which is dedicated to social and environmental causes. The organisation runs two thrift stores where people can donate and purchase second-hand items, with the proceeds often going towards supporting homeless people and other community projects. Emmaus France was founded by Abbé Pierre in 1949, and it has been operating for over 70 years, making it a long-standing presence in French social activism. The mission of Emmaus is to combat poverty and social exclusion through inclusive employment and community action.
