DiAnoia’s Eatery owners Dave Anoia and Aimee DiAndrea Anoia first came to Women’s Center & Shelter in the winter of 2019 to deliver a delicious spaghetti and meatball dinner for the shelter residents and their children. From that small seed, an amazing partnership has grown.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when WC&S was unable to bring volunteers into the shelter to cook meals for the residents, DiAnoia’s Eatery donated meals that kept the residents’ bellies full and their spirits high. In 2021, when COVID prevented us from hosting an in-person Celebrating Survivors for the second year in a row, DiAnoia’s partnered with us to provide our virtual attendees with Celebration Boxes that included all the trappings of a normal Celebrating Survivors, plus an incredible make-at-home meal kit featuring favorites from DiAnoia’s menu.
