Our Village


​

​The Community Kitchen at Eva's Village

Eva's Community Kitchen provides an average of 1,100 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 offer 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.

Treatment & Recovery Programs

At Eva's Village, we understand how difficult it is to break the cycle of addiction.  Because each individual is unique and may respond to treatment and care different, Eva's Village offers a variety of social services and clinical programs to help people find their path to recovery.

Emergency Shelters

​Eva's Village Shelters for Men and Women provide emergency shelter beds or temporary housing for people experiencing homelessness who are 18 years of age and older. 

​The shelters are filled to capacity during most of the year with men and women who are struggling with primary health and mental health issues, substance use disorders, job loss and eviction.  At Eva's Village we provide people experiencing homelessness with the basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing and provide connections to services at Eva’s Village and throughout the Paterson community.  Our goal is to provide a pathway to permanent, supportive housing.

The Culinary School at Eva's Village 

The Culinary School at Eva’s Village was established in 2013 as a private career school where students earn a Certificate of Completion and ServeSafe Certification. The focus of the 20-week program is to train and place students in culinary careers. 95% of our graduates have found employment in the hospitality industry.
