The members of the South Lake Tahoe Yacht Club (SLTYC) are a fun and active group who have a common interest in boating and enjoying beautiful Lake Tahoe. However, this social club is also committed to community involvement and on Monday, June 13th, the SLTYC sponsored their annual Bread & Broth “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” dinner held at St. Theresa Church Grace Hall.

Thanks to the U.S. Forest Service employees from the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, the Bread & Broth diners on Monday night May 2nd enjoyed a festive Mexican dinner at St. Theresa Church Grace Hall. With funds from the Forest Service employee association’s Wellness, Recreation and Morale fund, the B&B cooks prepared beef tacos, Mexican black beans and Spanish rice to celebrate the upcoming Cino de Mayo holiday.

Bread & Broth would like to thank Unity at the Lake Church members for their ongoing support of our efforts to ease hunger in our community. About ten Unity at the Lake (UATL) members are regular Bread & Broth volunteers who serve and cook at the Monday evening meals, help with the Bread & Broth 4 Kids Thursday bag packing and serve on B&B’s board. As an all volunteer, non-profit organization, Bread & Broth truly appreciates the support that we have received from UATL since the program’s inception over 26 years ago.

A very energetic and outgoing volunteer team from Vail Resort’s Retail Group joined the Bread & Broth volunteers to donate their time to serve the April 11 evening dinner at St. Theresa Grace Hall. With funds provided by the Vail EpicPromise Grant program, Heavenly Mountain Resort sponsored the Monday meal and had Retail Group Store Managers Ryan Olm, Heather Searcy, Amy Grannick, Josh Bastille and Marcie Canale team up and participate in the evening’s dinner event.

The community is invited to a special Good Friday performance of “The Living Last Words,” a dramatic musical experience commemorating the Seven Last Words of Christ, written by Ruth Elaine Schram, with music direction by Maureen Leonard, and stage direction by Susan Boulanger.

Tahoe Best Friends owner Paige Rice has a big heart not only for all of the family pets that she and her team at Tahoe Best Friends train and care for but also for those less fortunate members of our community who are in need of a helping hand. On Monday February 1st, Paige sponsored an “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” dinner held by Bread & Broth at St. Theresa Grace Hall. Paige brought Tahoe Best Friends’ employees Allison Brilliant and Maureen Stuhlman and friend and customer Judy Arnold to spend their evening helping at Paige’s sponsorship dinner.

By providing meals and “giveaway” food bags, Bread & Broth strives to give hope and comfort to those who struggle with hunger in our community. Thanks to B&B’s “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” sponsors, filling and well balanced meals are served every Monday at St. Theresa Grace Hall. Knowing that nutritious meals will be served and additional food to take home will be provided, B&B’s Monday evening dinner guests gratefully know that they will not be hungry for at least for that day.

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.”

Every Monday at St. Theresa Church’s Grace Hall, the Bread & Broth cooks use their well honed culinary skills to prepare nutritious and tasty meals enjoyed by our very grateful dinner guests. These wonderful meals are made possible by the funding provided by B&B’s “Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD)” sponsors. On September 21, 2015, the hosting AAD sponsor was Riva Grill on the Lake. In addition to donating $250, Riva Gill sent a sponsor crew who brought their dining skills to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for the evening’s guests.
