Eva's Village is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in Paterson, New Jersey, founded in 1982 by Msgr. Vincent E. Puma. It operates within the civic and social services field, offering a network of recovery-oriented programs that support people facing poverty, hunger, homelessness, and addiction. Programs include a Community Kitchen, Emergency Overnight/Temporary Housing, a Recovery Community Center with peer-based support, outpatient substance use disorder services with access to behavioral health care and medication-assisted treatment, outpatient mental health services, workforce development, and childcare for children in the Halfway House for Women with Children. Together, these services aim to help clients achieve healthier, more stable, and independent lives. One notable recent development occurred in February 2021 when Riverside Medical Group partnered with Eva's Village to assist in vaccinating more than 80 of Eva's Village clients and staff.
