Corporate & Group Volunteer Opportunities

 Important Message to our Volunteers during the COVID-19 Outbreak
 Our  top priority is the health, safety and well-being of our community – This includes you, our wonderful volunteers. We hope you and your families are safe and well.  During this challenging time, we are doing everything we can to keep our vital services available to the 250 men, women and children who live in our Halfway Houses and Shelters, and all others who rely on us for care; however we want to keep you informed about some of the difficult decisions we have had to make to our program operations to protect the our clients, kitchen guests, staff and our community.

  • We have temporarily suspended all in-person and on-site volunteers in our Community Kitchen and Workforce Development Program
  • In order to protect Kitchen guests, clients and staff, we are distributing daily “to go” meals for lunch at noon and 1 p.m., on weekdays rather than having people gather our Community Kitchen. Extra food will be distributed on Fridays to help sustain people through the weekend.
Every day brings new challenges, but we are deeply committed to continuing our care and services for those who need us most. As we continue to re-evaluate the situation and stay abreast of the latest recommendations, we will be sure to stay in touch with you on any further changes.

We have never been more grateful for your belief in our work. Any donation, no matter the size, will have an impact bigger than you know.

 Other Ways to Help our Mission

​Volunteer groups can also support Eva's Village by participating in a Mock Job Fair for our Workforce Development Program; undertaking a seasonal landscaping project to beautify our grounds; or by organizing a special collection of food, toiletries, or other items needed by Eva's residents!

Fund-A-Meal: Invest in Eva's Success!

Our Fund-A-Meal program offers volunteer groups from corporations, small businesses, community organizations, churches, and schools the chance to make a true difference for those we serve. These sponsorships underwrite the daily lunch in our Community Kitchen, helping to support the growing need for our services.

Here's how it works:
  • Fund-a-Meal Sponsors engage in our mission by forming a team or group of up to 10 volunteers (over age 15) to come to Eva’s and serve lunch on the day of your sponsorship.
  • The volunteer date can be scheduled Monday through Friday; arrival is at 10:00 am and ends at approximately 2:00 pm.
  • Volunteer teams will enjoy a rewarding community engagement experience, and have the opportunity reflect on the positive impact they made during a roundtable discussion and shared meal with Eva's staff after the volunteer service is complete.  
 
Your Donation Counts!
 A donation of $2,500 underwrites one day of lunch service for 300-400 guests; a contribution of $5,000 underwrites two full days of lunch service for up to 800 guests. Every dollar of your Fund-A-Meal sponsorship goes towards providing meals for individuals in our community who struggle to make ends meet.
 
We ❤ our Fund-A-Meal partners! Sponsors receive:
  • Prominent signage in our Community Kitchen on the day(s) of your Fund-A-Meal Sponsorship;
  • Your company or organization's name/logo on placemats at every seat in our Community Kitchen on the day(s) of your sponsorship;
  • Team photo opportunities during your sponsorship/check presentation and while servings guests;
  • Photo recognition on Eva’s social media sites;
