Eva's Village CEO Howard Haughton noted the community's 'soaring need' to help hunger, homelessness, and addiction as the nonprofit celebrates 40 years
"We do it because we're here to help people who are struggling with hunger, homelessness, poverty and addiction," Haughton told co-host Steve Doocy."Our community has a soaring need and the need is greater than ever. So we're here to provide the guidance, support and resources that they need that will empower them to live healthy, independent and productive lives."
Eva's Village began as a soup kitchen but expanded its operations over the years to encompass a wide-ranging array of services for those who are struggling. On any given year, the organization serves around 400,000 hot meals to hungry citizens, but aside from the kitchen, Eva's Village goes above and beyond.
Abrams is a former client, and a single mother who battled addiction. She said she would be in a"spiral" without the guidance of Eva's Village.
