Eva's Village Healthcare for the Homeless NJ
Paterson, New Jersey: Recently, the unemployment rate in America was reported to be 8.9% for most, but 15.4% when counting the higher numbers for the chronically poor. It's not surprising that America's most troubled cities are seeing an increase in homeless individuals and families. At Eva's Village in Paterson, the daily hot lunch for the New Jersey homeless and working poor has increased from 260 servings per day to more than 400, far more than planned for in 2009.
As the need grows, model anti-poverty charities like faith-based Eva's Village don't shy away from the challenge. They simply do more, so they need to ask for more help from their donors. The aggressive anti-poverty mission of Eva's Village is to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, treat the addicted and provides free medical and dental care to the poor, with respect for the human dignity of each individual. Yet, in today's difficult economy, who hasn't thought to themselves, "I'm lucky if I can spare $20 let alone make a big donation to a charity." That's why Eva's Village is offering new ways for small donors to help the poor. Donna Fico, Chief Marketing Officer at Eva's Village says, "We have many active volunteers who would like to do even more, so it's up to us to give them a way to help."
On Saturday, September 26, 2009, Eva's Village will provide a way for many small donors to do more by holding the first ever "Journey of Hope", a community Fun Walk/Run to help the poor. Registration is just $20, and Eva's Village is hoping participants will ask family and friends to add many more $20 donations to support their effort. Sister Gloria Perez, Executive Director of Eva's Village makes a good case: "At Eva's Village, $20 will go farther than you can imagine, and this fun walk will provide a way for our dedicated volunteers to invite their family, friends and co-workers to share in their joy of giving through many small donations."
Consider what $20 can do at Eva's Village:
| | - $20.00 will provide a hot lunch for FOUR hungry people
- $20.00 will provide a winter hat and gloves for TWO very cold homeless people
- $40.00 will provide fruit and vegetables for TWENTY families living in the Hope Residence of St. Frances at Eva's Village
- $40.00 will provide a week's worth of diapers for TEN infants living in the Hope Residence
- $60.00 will provide a cup of coffee for more than TWO THOUSAND homeless men and women
- $100.00 will provide 3 days of complete meals for TWENTY homeless women

Sister Gloria Perez says, "We have all been witness to the power of a random act of kindness, how something small can make a big impact. Every single day, Eva's Village is fueled by the kindness and generosity of others. By supporting our anti-poverty programs at Eva's Village, you can personally improve the lives of people in your own community by giving them the resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency."
