Volunteering as a group at Eva’s village is interesting, rewarding, and a great team building exercise. What better way to bring a group together than to help others and be reminded of how fortunate the group is to have employment, food on the table, decent medical care and a wonderful group of friends and coworkers?

• Learn what it takes to create, build, fund and operate a successful comprehensive anti-poverty organization — we invite your questions!

• Tour our programs.

• Serve as a group in Eva’s Kitchen.

• And then we hope you’ll be inspired to do even more with us in the future!

Volunteers from Becton Dickinson and Company, Contracting Operations Department, Franklin Lakes, came to help the children at Eva’s prepare for Mother’s Day. The children all decorated gift bags, journals and made cards for their Mom. Everyone had a wonderful time being creative and even a little silly at times. We are very grateful for BD’s generosity and shared compassion.

BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) from Franklin Lakes participated in the Bond, Boost and Build program at Eva’s Village.  The program helps corporations Bond with fellow employees, Boost their spirit of mission and sharing and Build a team through service to others.

Eva’s Village was founded in 1982 by Msgr. Vincent E. Puma in response to the homeless problem in his Paterson, NJ parish. But Msgr. Puma soon realized that a soup kitchen was not enough. With the generous support of thousands of donors and private and government grants, Eva’s Village has grown into one of the most comprehensive and respected anti-poverty non profit in New Jersey, with over a dozen important programs to help the poor and a four-star (maximum) rating by Charity Navigator, an independent non-profit monitor.

Employees of U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management, Glen Rock, visited Eva’s Village to participate in a program of team building events. Who knew serving the poor could be so much fun?

NICE Systems, Inc. volunteered at Eva’s Village, serving lunch and learning more about the challenges faced by New Jersey’s hungry, homeless and poor.

Employees from Quantum Management Group, Clifton participated in the Eva’s Village Bond, Boost and Build Program. They received a tour and helped serve lunch to the more than 350 homeless and poor that come each day for a hot lunch at Eva’s Kitchen.

Stryker Orthopaedics in Mahwah volunteered their time and dug in to clean and plant in our courtyard area outside of our kitchen. Hands got dirty and flowers were planted. Thank you Stryker for your time and energy!
