*Help our community partner Father English!*
On November 2, Father English Community Center in Paterson suffered a devastating fire to their food pantry and used clothing boutique. All staff and students were safely evacuated, but the fire destroyed all of the food, clothing and supplies that had already been collected for the upcoming holiday season.
As partners in serving those in need, Eva's Village wants to help Father English get up and running as soon as possible. We have transformed our Culinary School training kitchen into a temporary food pantry so they can continue to serve 100-150 clients each day while they rebuild.
Please consider helping Father English restore their food pantry and restock the clothing boutique. Here are ways you can help:
