Feed Vegas: Celebrating 82 Years of Community Service
Las Vegas, known for its vibrant nightlife and entertainment, is also home to a strong sense of community and compassion. One organization that has played a significant role in serving the Las Vegas Valley is Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada (CCSN). This year, in honor of its 82nd birthday, CCSN hosted a special Feed Vegas community celebration and a special meal at the St. Vincent Lied Dining Facility. Thanks to the generous sponsorship from MGM Resorts International, this event was a memorable occasion for all.
The Feed Vegas community meal aims to bring together individuals from the surrounding area, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie. Clients of CCSN, as well as members of the community, had the opportunity to enjoy a delectable meal prepared with love and care. The menu for this special occasion included a refreshing Caesar salad, accompanied by assorted rolls and cornbread. For the main course, guests savored the delightful flavors of chicken cacciatore and braised short ribs, served with creamy mashed potatoes. The meal was beautifully rounded out with broccolini, roasted baby carrots, and an assortment of tempting desserts.
Before the meal began, CEO Deacon Tom Roberts addressed the staff and volunteers, expressing his gratitude for their unwavering dedication to the community. He also took a moment to bless the food, acknowledging the significance of sharing a meal together and the joy it brings.
CCSN has been an integral part of the Las Vegas community since its establishment on April 16, 1941. Over the years, it has grown exponentially, expanding its reach and impact through various social services. The organization's mission is to provide help and hope to those in need, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Through its commitment to serving the less fortunate, CCSN has become a beacon of hope and a symbol of compassion in the Las Vegas Valley. The Feed Vegas celebration not only marks the organization's 82nd anniversary, but also serves as a testament to the power of community coming together to support one another.
MGM Resorts International's sponsorship of this event showcases their dedication to making a positive difference in the communities they serve. By partnering with CCSN, they are not only providing a memorable meal, but also highlighting the importance of corporate social responsibility.
As the aromas of delicious food filled the St. Vincent Lied Dining Facility, the Feed Vegas celebration meal was an occasion filled with warmth, kindness, and a shared sense of purpose. It is a reminder that even in a city known for its glitz and glamour, the true heart of Las Vegas lies in its compassionate community.
As we celebrate CCSN's 82nd birthday, let us also celebrate the spirit of giving, unity, and the invaluable contributions of all those involved in making this event a reality. Together, we can continue to feed Vegas with love, compassion, and a commitment to creating a brighter future for all.
