Kudos: Kirkwood sponsors "Adopt A Day" at Bread and Broth

Dan Deemer, a member of Kirkwood Mountain Resort’s Guest Services team, was one of the sponsor crew volunteers who came to help at Bread & Broth’s dinner on Monday, November 2nd. After spending time on the serving line dishing out generous portions of chili and pizza, he took a moment to jot down his views on his time spent at Kirkwood’s “Adopt A Day” dinner. “The opportunity to directly give back to the local community is extremely rewarding,” he wrote. “The appreciation of those who are in need can be seen in their smiling faces.”

If you have ever attended a B&B evening meal at either St. Theresa Church Grace Hall on Monday or Lake Tahoe Community Church on Friday, the out pouring of thankful- ness and the enjoyment of a hot, nutritious meal is difficult to overlook. For many who attend the meals, it may be their first hot meal in days or the “give away” bags filled with canned good, vegetables, fruit, dairy products and bread/pastries may be their only food for the next few days.

This dinner experience would not happened without the financial support of Kirkwood Mountain Resort via the Vail EpicPromise Grant program and the consistently great Kirkwood team members that volunteer their time to help at the dinners. Joining Dan that evening from Kirkwood were Product, Sales & Services supervisor Christina Nevill and manager Jarrett Morgan and Wade Kriletick, Guest Services. These five volunteers worked really hard to make sure that all the guests that night went away happy with their dinner experience. Bread & Broth is very grateful for our Kirkwood partnership and always look forward to their sponsorship evenings.
