Last week's speaker
TODAY’S PROGRAM
EVA’S VILLAGE AND EVA’S KITCHEN
Guest Speaker – Director Laura Bloem
Eva’s Kitchen was founded in 1982 by Monsignor Vincent Puma. It was set up to feed the homeless and the hungry in Paterson.
Today the mission has expanded, Eva’s Village mission is to feed the hungry, serve the homeless and treat the addicted. Laura tells us that everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
The programs include serving breakfast and lunch in the state of the art kitchen and lunchroom by volunteers. A halfway house program to help with resumes and finding jobs for men, women and one for women with young children; A program that provides emergency sheltering and outpatient programs.
Volunteers bring food to the 4th Ward in Paterson to connect with addicted folks. Volunteers are always needed to serve the meals, if you are interested in volunteering you are invited to call (973) 523-6220 and ask for the Volunteer Coordinator. I can tell you from experience it is a gratifying and rewarding experience.
We are thinking for all of our members, family and friends who are suffering an illness or other adversities especially Pat Scialla, Tony Pecci and Gloria Counsellor.
