Eva's is continuing to provide care for our community during the COVID-19 pandemic

Since we switched from sit-down dining to meals to-go in mid-March, our Community Kitchen has been busier than ever, serving 50,000 meals in the first 100 days.  Our Community Kitchen is still serving hungry community members and clients living in our Halfway Houses and Shelters - and we're  sending meals to individuals sheltering in area hotels. We're also distributing donated masks - more than 2,000 so far - to our residential clients and individuals who come to pick up nutritious to-go lunch.
We are working around the clock to keep vital services running  during this crisis. We have adapted programs to ensure that those who rely on us continue to receive the help they need during this crisis. At the same time, we following government guidelines to protect the health and safety of our clients, community members, staff and volunteers:

Meet our Heroes
Every day, we are inspired by the men, women, and children we serve - who exhibit strength and resilience as they face challenges related to addiction, mental and physical health, poverty, and homelessness.

We follow the words of our founder Msgr. Vincent Puma: "When you take somebody's hand, you cannot let it go until they can stand on their own two feet." We extend our hand to all who are in need, and they in turn extend their hands to help others along the path to wellness and stability.

We also recognize that each person's journey is different - and sometimes it can start with something as simple as a meal.
