Edna's Haven

Edna's Haven was established to be a place that offers a sense of community, belonging,

and temporary relief from the pressures of poverty. Run by the Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris Counties, Edna's Haven was started with a generous donation from Zion Lutheran Church.

For those who are not fortunate enough to have shelter, companionship, and bountiful amenities, Edna’s Haven is exactly what its name implies, a haven for those in need, helping them network with social service agencies, find jobs and housing, and access the mental and physical healthcare systems.
