New Jersery Homeless Shelter and Services
Eva's Village is a non-profit, comprehensive, social service agency. Our mission is to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, treat the addicted and provide medical care to the poor with respect for the human dignity of each individual.
Eva's Village aims to be a model social service agency dedicated to preserve and enhance the dignity of the individual.
Spearheaded by Msgr. Vincent E. Puma and other concerned priests, nuns, and lay people, Eva's began as a direct response to the growing crisis of hunger and homelessness on the streets of Paterson.
When it was first opened in 1982, Eva's Kitchen was located in the basement of the old St. John's convent on Hamilton Street. Eva's Kitchen served its first meal to about 30 homeless people in April 1982. Residential recovery programs for both men and women followed quickly, as did the medical clinic and shelters for homeless men, women, and mothers with children. By 1996, when it moved to its new facility on Main Street, Eva's had grown into a full-scale "village" to meet the needs of the poor with its new 50,000 square-foot facility.
Today, Eva's Village comprises some 11 programs, housing about 250 people on the premises and serving approximately 1,000 meals a day, 365 days a year. Its primary care clinic handles about 5,000 patient visits a year for medical, dental, and podiatric services. Eva's is one of the largest and most respected anti-poverty programs in New Jersey.
