Nutritious meals to go are distributed at 12 p.m. and 1 p.m., Monday-Friday. Extra meals are given on Fridays so people will have enough through the weekend.

Community Kitchen Hours for meal service:
To-go Lunch is served from 12:00 - 1:00 pm, weekdays All are welcome |
Eva's Kitchen was founded in 1982 to help feed the hungry. The first meal of hot dogs and beans was served to 30 hungry individuals in the basement of St. John’s Cathedral, in Paterson. In the early 1990's an expanded kitchen was built on Main Street with capacity for 240 people. To help feed the growing number of homeless and working poor, an expansion in 2011 increased the capacity to 400.
Our Community Kitchen now serves a nutritious to-go lunch, weekdays, to 400 individuals in addition to three meals a day prepared for the men, women and mothers with children who reside in our recovery and sheltering programs. When they come to pick up a to-go meal, clients may learn about the shelter, addiction treatment & health care resources offered at Eva's Village and they may choose to take the next step, whether it is seeking shelter, substance abuse treatment or free medical care. Volunteers who help serve the meals are an essential ingredient in our Community Kitchen, and we welcome the participation of individuals as well as local businesses, religious, civic and educational who volunteer as a group. |
