As we enter a new year, we are filled with hope and resolution, determined to see things change for the better. Here at Eva's Village, we are consistently focused on just that - how to see the issues of homelessness, hunger, and addiction change for the better.

It's a tall order and one that we do not take lightly. We know that in addition to providing critical life-saving services, like food, shelter, and medical care, we must look for what is broken and find our part in fixing it.

We need to go into the community to bring addiction treatment to those who need it. We need to enter into the labor-intensive process of housing navigation and help our community members achieve independent living. And we are compelled to address the root causes of homelessness and addiction with our clients, recognizing the unique journey and story of each individual.

​We are grateful to carry on this work that began in Paterson nearly 40 years ago and equally grateful for your partnership in it. Thank you for your commitment and generous donations that enable a bright future at Eva's.

My very best to you and your families in the new year.

Picture
We envision a time when every one of our neighbors can access the resources, care, and opportunities they need to thrive in our community, with good health,  safety, dignity and security. Your support during these challenging times makes a difference as rates of overdose and substance use soar and more people must choose between food, rent, and medical care. We continue to meet these needs AND we're finding new ways to offer assistance to neighbors in Paterson.

  • We are collaborating with local nonprofits to offer comprehensive services and support to vulnerable neighbors through sidewalk outreach and on-site vaccinations to community members and our clients
  • Our Community Kitchen continues to serve 400 meals each weekday including to-go meals 5 days a week and 3 meals a day for our residential clients
  • We have harnessed technology to offer Telehealth and Zoom meetings to connect individuals recovering from substance use disorders with treatment and support. 
Your gift of any amount will be life-changing!
Make a difference all year long!
