Kudos: Bread & Broth thanks the Tahoe Douglas Elks Lodge

The local Tahoe Douglas Elks Lodge #2670 has been an ongoing sponsor for Bread & Broth’s Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD) and generously hosts two to three sponsorship dinners annually. Their most current AAD sponsorship was at Bread and Broth’s (B&B) Monday Meal on March 12, and thanks to their sponsorship, B&B fed 84 dinner guests a ‘home style’ meatloaf dinner served with mashed potatoes with gray, broccoli and a green salad lovingly cooked and prepared by the B&B’s wonderful volunteer cooks.

Elks Lodge team members Jeanne and Roger Barragan, Karen and Jim Plamenig, Steve Kurek and Gary R. Wendt volunteered to help B&B’s setup and serve for three hours. They bagged food “giveaway” bags, set up the dessert table, manned the dinner serving line, and cleaed and stored the dinner’s tables and chairs. It’s a busy three hours and the help the Elks Lodge members provided making the meal service run smoothly was greatly appreciated by the evening’s B&B volunteers.

“We enjoy helping feed the needy and we are thankful for the chance to be a part of the community that assists easing hunger for those in need,” commented Jeanne Barragan. Jeanne also noted the appreciation and the thanks expressed by the dinner’s guest as they were served their heaping trays of the tasty meatloaf dinner.
