TO OUR FRIENDS,

Wtim grinch shirte are all aware how perilous these economic times are for everyone, so it is difficult to ask all of you who have been so generous before to do it yet again.

I do know the people we serve every year have it much worse than any of us can imagine. And probably the worst part is, in many cases, the absence of hope. That's what Holiday Express actually delivers during our season – hope – and the knowledge that someone cares, even if just for a few hours once a year.

Please do what you can and we promise that it will help light a light for many people who spend a good portion of their lives in darkness.

Thank you,

LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM SISTER GLORIA PEREZ, EVA'S VILLAGE

sister gloria perezWhat a joy Holiday Express is to Eva’s Village in Paterson, New Jersey! Each year the most dedicated volunteers, under the leadership of Tim McLoone, pack up their trucks with food, music and gifts and head up the Parkway to bring the most fabulous Christmas to the men, women and children in our shelters and recovery programs. I have had the joy of being present each year to see the faces of our clients as they are treated to a magnificent show and a delicious meal.

Our children, residents of our Hope Residence for Mothers and Children, are the greatest fans of the show. They are not only fascinated by the Grinch and Frosty, but Santa’s arrival brings shouts of joy. They are even captivated by the musical instruments and have no inhibitions to walk into the and area and touch the saxophones and drums.

After one of the shows, one of the residents of our men’s shelter came to me with tears in his eyes saying that this was the first time he ever celebrated Christmas in the true sense of the word. He had never felt anything but loneliness and isolation during the holiday season and the joy and music lifted his spirits, giving him a feeling of being at home. To so many of our clients, the warmth and spirit of the faithful volunteers of Holiday Express and the joy they bring, are a true blessing to Eva’s Village. We are so grateful! God bless all of you!

Sister Gloria Perez
Executive Director, Eva's Village
