The purpose of Friends in Faith Serving Emporia is to assist Emporia churches and the immigrant community to work together to identify and address community needs and concerns; to help all involved to renew and revitalize their congregations and the community; and to energize congregations and communities for mission and action.

Friends in Faith Serving Emporia works to bring together those with needs and those with resources to help. Currently, we are working hard to be able to respond effectively to the needs of our friends and neighbors that are directly and indirectly impacted by Tyson’s decision to lay off 1,500 employees. Your FFSE is working with community agencies to coordinate need and resources efficiently.

The Tyson plant lay-offs will have considerable impact on our community and FFSE has realized the need to make information more readily available to more people without the limitations office hours.

This Web site, sponsored by Lyon-Coffey Electric Cooperative, Inc.; developed and maintained by Rose Business Solutions, has been established to facilitate information and resource collection to better serve those needing assistance and those wishing to contribute. Our site will also serve ongoing assistance coordination for those not directly/indirectly affected by the Tyson plant lay-offs.

Whether you are needing assistance or wanting to contribute, forms on this site can be downloaded and brought to our location, faxed to our location, or completed on-line and e-mailed to us.

If you have questions about information on this site, available assistance, or being a contributor please call (620) 342-8100 or e-mail us.
