History
Established in 1982.
Eva’s Village was founded in 1982 by Msgr. Vincent E. Puma as Eva’s Kitchen, a New Jersey soup kitchen serving 30 hungry people in Paterson, NJ. As our vision of how to help the poor expanded, facilities were added and today Eva’s Village operates 12 individual programs, within a three block radius in downtown Paterson.
Eva’s Village provides a wide range of services for the poor in NJ, including food, shelter, substance abuse treatment, primary medical and dental care and a variety of transitional and permanent housing options.
Eva’s Village maintains a consistent «Four Star» (most preferred) rating by Charity Navigator, the «Online Guide to Intelligent Giving».
Hundreds of generous volunteers serve the poor at Eva’s Village in a number of ways, including serving in Eva’s Kitchen, donating food and other supplies, providing in-kind services, and conducting a wide variety of vital fund raising programs
