- Bread & Broth 4 Kids, the backpack weekend food program serving K-8 food insecure LTUSD children and Summer B&B 4 Kids which provides food during the school summer break for children up to the age of 18.
Bread & Broth, an all volunteer organization whose mission is to ease hunger in the Lake Tahoe South Shore community, has volunteer opportunities for those who are looking to give back and join their ‘heart warming’ efforts to help others.
Bread & Broth (B&B) has grown over the last eight years and now offers the following programs:
- Monday Meal, which is a full-course dinner service every Monday at St. Theresa Grace Hall from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.
- Bread & Broth 4 Kids, the backpack weekend food program serving K-8 food insecure LTUSD children and Summer B&B 4 Kids which provides food during the school summer break for children up to the age of 18.
All of this takes a great deal of volunteer hours and effort to keep all of these programs running efficiently and effectively. B&B has several openings for those wanting to volunteer.
