Your health, safety and care is our first priority.
Based on the National State of Emergency and guidance at the national, state, and local level to contain the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) - and to protect the health and safety of our clients and community members, Eva's Village has had to suspended or change some of our programs and services until further notice.
CURRENTLY, THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ARE IN EFFECT:
Community Kitchen: On-site, sit-down dining is currently suspended. 'To-go' Breakfast is distributed Monday-Thursday at 9 am, and 'to-go' Lunch is distributed at 12pm and 1pm, Monday-Friday. Extra meals are given on Fridays to carry people through the weekend.
Recovery Community Center: Our 16 Spring Street Center is temporarily closed, but we are now hosting on-site, outdoor recovery meetings Monday-Friday: "Recovery Power Hour" meets from 9-10 am, and "Sweatin' Into Recovery" meets from 1-2pm.

Please take care of yourself, and continue to follow the CDC 's prevention recommendations:
- Cover your mouth and nose with a mask whenever you are around others, including outside if you are in a situation that does not allow for proper social distancing.
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available
- Maintain safe social distance - 6' or more (about 2 arm's lengths) when outside of your home
- Limit physical contact with others (including handshakes etc.)
- Stay home and limit your contact with others if you are not feeling well
Be well, and we hope to see you back at Eva's Village very soon.
