SOCIAL MEDIA SERENDIPITY: A Twitter post about surplus bananas in Sussex County caught John Baumgartner’s eye last Thursday. "I thought, what the heck, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I knew Eva's could put them to good use. So I made some inquiries and was able to set up the pickup within 24 hours, knowing that bananas have a limited shelf life."
John, a long-time volunteer in Eva’s Community Kitchen, drove through the rain to pick up and deliver a truckload of bananas to Eva's the next day. "Sometimes it pays to have a pickup truck and a few hours to spare.” Inspired by this story? Find out how you can help Eva’s during the pandemic here.

DEEP ROOTS, DEEP GENEROSITY: Madeline recently donated 46 cloth masks to Eva's for residents living in our Halfway Houses. To fill the time while she and her family were quarantined, she thought of making masks and Eva's immediately came to mind - a place where her family's roots run deep. Not only were her grandparents married by Eva's founder, Msgr. Puma, but her mother, Monica, has volunteered at our Community Kitchen for years.
"We were thinking how comfortable we are in our house with a yard and are able to properly socially distance, but there are people who are at Eva's who may have a tough time doing that," she said. "I'm incredibly inspired by what Eva's has become. For us, it came very naturally to want to help out."
Donations of cloth masks are welcome for our clients and community members who come for daily to-go lunches
