People at the community mainly come from the regions orphanages. The community offers two types of assistance: meeting basic needs (food, hygiene, accommodation) and providing support, the aim being for the people at the community to learn a trade.
To reach this aim, the Emmaus community Iasi is involved in a variety of projects and initiatives providing socio-professional support, education, training, help with leaning social skills and helping people reach independence. The community is involved in helping homeless people in the city of Iasi.
