The Bread & Broth Program at St. Theresa’s Church in South Lake Tahoe is observing its 20th anniversary of serving by celebrating its volunteers through the years with a special dinner Oct. 26 from 4-5:30pm in the Church Hall.

Every person who has volunteered their time to the program since it started in 1989 is invited to join other community members at the regularly scheduled Monday serving.

“Bread & Broth is here today due to the dedication and love of its volunteers.” Director Diane Weidinger said in a press release. “We’re so grateful to have such a wonderful group of people devote their time and energy to this much needed community service. This meal is a small token of our appreciation.”

Along with the special invitation extended to the Bread & Broth volunteers, Monday’s meal is open to all members of the community, just as it has been every Monday at Grace Hall since 1989.

This month the kitchen staff is expected to reach a bittersweet milestone by exceeding 12,500 meals served since it started 20 years ago.
