Christmas Traditions on Main Street

If you would like to get out and about to experience the sights, sounds and smells of the season consider the "Christmas Traditions" taking place on Main Street in St. Charles. You might meet a storybook character or a Santa from around the world. Click here to find details like dates and times the festivities happen.

Pictured are Chelsea J., John S., Shawn H., Danny J., and Janine L. meeting a character on their trip to South Main Street this past Dec. 3rd.

Service Project

S.A.S. participants, Emmaus staff and volunteers shared their time and warmth with the community tonight making Holiday treat bags to be donated to Youth In Need (YIN). YIN is a local organization that serves children and families who are in crisis. We stuffed bags with trinkets, candy, and heartfelt messages. While we look forward to all the fun and excitement of Christmas we are humbled to remember so many who are facing difficult and lonely times. Thank you all who participated and all who are doing something, any little thing, for others this Holiday Season!
