St. Vincent Lied Dining Facility

Nyia

It’s hard to imagine being without something as simple as food, but many people who come to our campus arrive here because these and other basic needs aren’t being met. Four year old Nyia came to our dining room with her Aunt and Grandmother for the Feast of Hope. Now, they’re at a point in their life where they really need it. Nyia lives with her Grandmother and her Grandfather has stage 4 lymphoma cancer. Now, on some days, they’re struggling just to get by.

Fortunately Catholic Charities is there to help hungry families like Nyia’s. The St. Vincent Lied Dining Facility serves an average of 1,000 meals a day. A warm meal may not seem like much, but to a growing child proper nutrition can make a lifetime’s difference. Our dedicated kitchen staff prepares food that is fresh, nutritious, and, as we’re receiving referrals, tastes really good. “I liked the meal, Nyia liked the meal too because her face was in the plate. The whole family will be coming back,” said LaRaysa Wyatt.
