Eva's Community Kitchen serves an average of 350 meals daily, including meals for those who reside in Eva's Village homeless shelters and halfway houses, with a small kitchen staff and an army of dedicated volunteers. Our team not only serves meals but engages with guests to try and understand the root causes of their needs, whether it is due to unemployment, homelessness, substance use disorders or mental health challenges. Through these conversations, Eva's staff and volunteers guide guests toward programs that help empower them to lead healthy, independent, financially secure lives.

Eva's Kitchen was founded in 1982 to help feed the hungry.  The first meal consisted of hot dogs and beans served to 30 hungry guests. Today, the Community Kitchen at Eva's Village serves more than 400,000 nutritious meals a year to our neighbors and the residents in our shelters and halfway houses. The Community Kitchen serves as a gateway to Eva's other programs. Through conversations and connections with our staff or volunteers, our guests learn about our homeless shelters, halfway houses, recovery programs and mental health services.

Our dedicated team of volunteers who help serve the meals are an essential ingredient in our Community Kitchen. We welcome the participation of individuals as well as local businesses, religious, civic and educational organizations who choose to volunteer as a group.
