Thirty-two Hillside youth enjoyed dinner at the Railway Station Diner in Rochester in March, thanks to owner Chris Styliadis and his staff. "The Railway Station was a Hillside Special Santas donor," says Community Relations Manager Leah Thomas. "They wanted to continue giving to our youth after the holiday season by hosting a dinner to give kids in residential treatment an experience they wouldn’t normally have."  

The dinner was such a success that the Railway Station wants to make it an annual event. "When the kids were getting ready to leave, one of the waiters praised them for being so polite and friendly," Leah says. "It made the kids stand a little taller and feel very proud." 

Thanks to Chris Styliadis and the entire staff at the Railway Station Diner for making this special evening possible.
