Why Give to Eva's Village?

Eva's Village is an independent, nonsectarian, not-for-profit social service agency, independent of church or government control. We receive no budgetary support from the Diocese of Paterson. To sustain its vital services, Eva's depends on charitable contributions from individual donors, foundations, the business community, and religious and civic organizations.

Why should you support Eva's Village? There are many possible reasons - here are just a few:

• Eva's work helps alleviate grave social problems - including addiction, crime, disease, and domestic violence - and thereby reduces the burden on taxpayers and government agencies.
• Giving to Eva's is financially sound, as it can help reduce your income and estate taxes.
• Helping the poorest of the poor expresses our most profound moral and religious ideals.
• Being generous and supportive of those in need is good for the soul - it helps us to grow and reach spiritual fulfillment.
• By assisting in God's work of serving the poor, we become partners with God in perfecting His creation.
• Helping other people is an essential part of being truly human.
• The service provided by Eva's Village helps preserve the quality of life in our communities.
• By sharing our material blessings with those less fortunate, we bring deeper meaning to our lives.
• Giving to Eva's sets a positive example for our friends, neighbors, colleagues, and especially our children.

In the words of Matt. 25:40, "What you do for the least of my brethren, you do for me."
