What it reported doing in 2024

Community kitchen: eva's kitchen was founded in 1982 to help feed the hungry. The first meal of hot dogs and beans was served to 30 hungry individuals in the basement of st. John's cathedral, in paterson. In the early 1990's an expanded kitchen was built on main street with capacity for 240 people. To help feed the growing number of homeless and working poor, an expansion in 2011 increased the capacity to 400.our community kitchen now serves a nutritious breakfast monday-thursday and lunch weekdays, to 400+ individuals in addition to three meals a day prepared for the men, women and mothers with children who reside in our recovery and sheltering programs. When they come in for a meal, clients may learn about the shelter, addiction treatment & health care resources offered at eva's village and they may choose to take the next step, whether it is seeking shelter or substance abuse treatment.volunteers who help serve the meals are an essential ingredient in our community kitchen, and we welcome the participation of individuals as well as local businesses, religious, civic and educational organizations who choose to volunteer as a group.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
