PATERSON, NJ — Today, November 27, 2025, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) joined with non-profit Eva’s Village to help serve Thanksgiving meals to local families.

“Everyone should have the food they need each day — especially at Thanksgiving. This season reminds us to be grateful and to support neighbors who may be struggling with rising costs,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “That’s what today was about. Thank you to Eva’s Village, the amazing volunteers, and everyone who helps ensure New Jersey families have the holiday they deserve.”

Gottheimer was joined by Congresswoman Nellie Pou (NJ-9), Assemblyman Al Abdelaziz (LD-35), Passaic County Commissioner Orlando Cruz, Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh, Paterson Councilwoman Maritza Davila, and Eva’s Village CEO Howard Haughton.
