Eva’s Village, (http://www.EvasVillage.org) a Paterson, NJ Anti-Poverty Charity provides a new way for the community to help beat poverty in New Jersey with their second annual 5K fun walk/run, titled “Journey of Hope”
Paterson, NJ (PRWEB) July 23, 2010
Eva’s Village, Paterson, NJ, provides a new way for the community to help beat poverty in New Jersey with their second annual 5K fun walk/run, titled “Journey of Hope”.
On Saturday, September 25, 2010, Eva’s Village will provide a way for many small donors to get involved in helping the poor of New Jersey by holding their second annual “Journey of Hope”, a community 5K Walk/Run. Registration is just $20 for adults and $10 for children. Eva’s Village is hoping participants will ask family and friends to add more small donations of $20, $50 or more to support their effort.
Sister Gloria Perez, Executive Director of Eva’s Village, says, “$20 will go farther than you can possibly imagine to help the poor!” Consider that 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 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
Dale Calvert, a board member at Eva’s Village, says, “The first Journey of Hope for Eva’s Village, was held last year at Garret Mountain Reservation in Woodland Park, and it was a wonderful day for the entire family — we had over 350 people, which was a tremendous turnout for our first Walk/Run!” Mr. Calvert hopes this year’s event will provide twice the number of participants and donations.
By participating in the Eva’s Village 5K Walk/Run, participants can personally improve the lives of people in their own communities by giving the poor the resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency.
Sister Gloria says, “Poverty is no longer the face of a stranger, but perhaps the face of your neighbor. The numbers of people in need are climbing. This is not some far off, future reality, the need is right now, and in your own community. That’s why I invite you to join us on the Journey of Hope for Eva’s Village.”

Eva’s Village is a comprehensive New Jersey anti-poverty organization located in Paterson that covers the complete continuum of care for the poor. Their mission is full circle. They feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, treat the addicted and provide medical care to the poor with respect for the human dignity of each individual. Because of the recent recession Eva’s Village has seen an increase in those seeking their help. In November 2009 the unemployment rate was 10.3% in New Jersey, 12.4% in Passaic County where Paterson is located and 17.8% in Paterson. During 2009, a total of 135,314 hot lunches were served at Eva’s Village to the poor. This is a 20% increase from 2007. On 15-20 days each month last year, they served over 400 meals.
Model anti-poverty charities like Eva’s Village don’t shy away from the challenge. They do more, so they need to ask for more help from their donors. Yet, in today’s troubled economy, who hasn’t thought to themselves, “I’m lucky I can spare $20 let alone 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 hold an annual gala and golf outing, and our donors at these events are incredibly generous, but these are expensive events with limited capacity and we have many volunteers who would like to do more for the poor if we will just give them a way to help.”

New Jersey Anti-poverty Charity Announces Team Building Opportunities for Corporate Volunteers to Help Meet Increasing Need.
Posted by Christopher.Skyi on Jul 23, 2010
Eva’s Village (http://www.evasvillage.org), Paterson, NJ, creates “Bond, Boost, and Build” effort for corporate volunteers to help meet demand for anti-poverty services as donations and foundation grants decline.
Paterson, NJ (PRWEB) July 23, 2010
Eva’s Village, the well-known Paterson, NJ anti-poverty nonprofit, describes a “perfect storm” of declining donations during a time of increasing need among the hungry, homeless and poor.
In a survey conducted in March 2009, The Council on Foundations reported that 62 percent of the 430 foundations surveyed, expect to reduce their grant making this year. Eva’s Village has received notification from numerous foundations that they are not distributing funds at this time because they are redirecting interests elsewhere or because funds have 
been allocated for the year.
Coincidentally, The Center for Non-Profits conducted an online survey of New Jersey Non-Profits in February 2010. Similar to the previous year, they reported that 64% of the responding organizations saw an increase in the demand for their services in 2009 and expect the trend to continue in 2010. Eva’s Village alone experienced a 20% increase in the hungry and homeless coming to Eva’s Kitchen for a hot lunch over the past two years (since 2007). Eva’s Village also reports an increase in the poor and homeless seeking free medical and dental care at the Eva’s Village Primary Care Clinic.
Despite detecting a decline in giving, Eva’s Village is building 50 units of affordable housing, and expanding Eva’s Kitchen and Eva’s Primary Care Clinic to meet the increasing demand.
Sister Gloria Perez, Executive Director of Eva’s Village, notes that the Eva’s Village mission of feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, treating the addicted and providing medical care for the poor has never been driven by donations, but by need. Donna Marie Fico, Chief Marketing Officer at Eva’s Village remains hopeful. She reports that during the current economic downturn, Eva’s Village has been increasingly proactive in employing new fundraising strategies.
Noting that many corporations and foundations were decreasing the funds distributed to charity, Eva’s Village created the “Bond, Boost, and Build” program. This highly successful team building effort for the employees of New Jersey corporations offers tours of Eva’s Village and volunteering in Eva’s Kitchen, a NJ soup kitchen serving a nutritious lunch to more than 350 homeless and working poor individuals daily.
More new efforts at Eva’s Village aim to reach donors and volunteers able to participate at a modest level. A 5K fun walk/run was created last year and deemed a success. Titled the “Journey of Hope”, the second annual walk/run will be held on September 25, 2010 at Garret Mountain Reservation, Woodland Park (West Paterson), NJ. Ms. Fico notes that the event drew participants from a new donor demographic, increased the participation of smaller businesses, and enlisted the help of the youth in the area.
Eva’s Village has also enlisted the help of a Volunteer Coordinator, and is adding another fundraising event titled “Behind the Seams”. This fashion show, featuring the Robert Graham Collection was suggested by two Eva’s Village supporters who are cosponsoring the event; Sal Lauretta for Men, Midland Park, andBottagra Restaurant, Hawthorne. The fashion show will be on June 7, 2010 at Bottagra Restaurant (call 973-523-6220 ext. 235 for more information).
Ms. Fico says, “It is important during this time of economic uncertainty that we put our resources to maximum use and that we be creative and efficient in delivering our programs as well as supporting them.” She reports that as one of the most respected, progressive and effective anti-poverty organizations in the state of New Jersey, Eva’s Village receives high marks for efficiency, including its third consecutive Four-Star rating by Charity Navigator indicating that Eva’s Village “Exceeds industry standards and outperforms most charities in its Cause” (Charity Navigator).
For more information on Eva’s Village and any of its upcoming events, email Donna Fico, Chief Marketing Officer at Donna.Fico@evasvillage.org or call (973) 523-6220 Ext. 230.
Originally a New Jersey soup kitchen, Eva’s Village was founded in 1982 by Msgr. Vincent E. Puma in response to the increasing incidence of homelessness 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 has grown into the most respected anti-poverty program in New Jersey.

MedexSupply Announces the Release of the ADC Limited Edition Pink Ribbon Stethoscope, With Proceeds Being Donated to Breast Cancer Research

MedexSupply Announces the Release of the ADC Limited Edition Pink Ribbon Stethoscope, With Proceeds Being Donated to Breast Cancer Research
Medexsupply, (http://www.medexsupply.com) a national leader in the supply of medical instruments and equipment announced the release of the ADC 603 Limited Edition Pink Ribbon stethoscope to the health market. The company will donate a portion of the proceeds from their versatile, new stethoscope to Breast Cancer Research.
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 11, 2008 — Today, Medexsupply, a national leader in the supply of online medical instruments and equipment announced the release of ADC 603 Limited Edition Pink Ribbon stethoscope to the health market. This stethoscope comes with a variety of new features at a very affordable price. ADC has become a popular brand name when it comes to medical equipment and its latest stethoscope is no exception. The wide spread use of ADC stethoscopes attests to their quality, versatility and performance. At Medexsupply, we have made our promotional stethoscope designed to promote breast cancer awareness.
Breast cancer is the second most common cause of deaths in North American Women and is the cancer most women fear most. Estimates from the cancer agencies indicate that close to 180,000 females will develop breast cancer this year alone. However, great advances in early diagnosis and treatment have been made in the last two decades. Current research has led to more and better treatment options, and many women are spared radical disfiguring surgeries. “We at Medexsupply strongly believe that awareness is the key to treatment of breast cancer. Our medical supplies will hopefully spread knowledge and encourage women to take charge of their own breast health, while reminding all to help support a cure for breast cancer.”
While there are some excellent stethoscopes already on the market, many are not affordable or lightweight. Surveys indicate that the majority of healthcare workers want a device which is easy to use, light weight and has excellent performance – and the ADC 603 provides all that and more.
ADC 603 is a two sided chest piece which offers the latest state of the art noise reduction technology located inside the chest piece. This allows one to listen to the patient without any interference from environmental noise. The unique design of its diaphragm and bell has allowed it to be great stethoscope offering comfort to both adult patients and children. The instrument is also easy to use for any health care professional and its ergonomic design makes it easy to wear around the neck and handle.
All health care workers agree that the stethoscope must fit properly for the best performance. The better the custom design, the more freely the sound transmits to the ear from the body. The ADC 603 is widely used by many health care professionals as a general stethoscope. While it can’t decipher all the heart sounds, it does function well when it comes to auscultation of the chest, heart and blood vessels anywhere in the body.
Dr Bhimji, a cardiothoracic surgeon says, “The ADC 603 is a great stethoscope. It can easily pick up the faintest murmurs in the heart, allows you to listen to the chest clearly and one can easily use it to auscultate bruits in the neck and groin. And because it does not stick out like a Littman, the chances of someone nicking it are nil.”
The slightly enlarged bell easily fits into the spaces between the ribs and can augment all heart sounds. Bruits or murmurs all over the body are accentuated because the bell “cups” the skin. The Ultra sensitive diaphragm (17/8″ diameter) offers superb amplification and crisp high frequency response. One does not need to press the stethoscope into the body to decipher the sounds. Unlike other stethoscopes, the bell or the diaphragm remain warm and never have the chilly feeling.
The ADC 603 is one of the most comfortable and versatile general use stethoscope manufactured today. For the price of $35, this high performing piece of equipment is a bargain. All ADC stethoscopes come with the finest manufacturers’ service and a warranty package.
Through the sale of our Pink Limited edition ADC 603 Stethoscope Breast Caner Awareness Merchandise, we will donate $5 for Breast Cancer Research for each stethoscope purchased. The product is easily available online by visiting our online Medical Supply Store
