EVMC - East Valley Men's Center

Hope Covenant Church prepares and serves dinner once a month for the men in need at the East Valley Men's Center (EVMC) in Mesa.

About EVMC

The East Valley Men's Center is a transitional training and living facility for up to 84 homeless men who make the initial commitment to get off the street and back in the economic and social mainstream.  The Center's goal for each resident is permanent employment at a decent wage, stable housing and increased self sufficiency skills.

The Center provides training, work assistance, counseling, socialization skills, food and shelter for single, adult homeless men. The Center either serves, or facilitates for, each individual resident in order to remove his barriers to self-sufficiency. The Center's overall objectives include helping each man find permanent housing and employment and increasing his ability to remain independent and self-sufficient in a timeframe tailored to his circumstance.

To find out more about the Center, visit the EVMC website. 

How you can help

We are always looking for volunteers to assist with:

  • Donating the food that is needed to serve a meal to the men;
  • Preparing the meal at Hope (usually the day before it is served);
  • Serving the meals at the Center;
  • Coordinating the donation and preparation of the food for the dinner.

We would love for you to be a part of our team!
