To the community,

Earlier this year, Bread & Broth reached a milestone — 20 years of serving meals to the South Lake Tahoe community. The two decades of service would not have been possible without the generous support of the local businesses and individuals who have donated their time and money.

As we reflect upon the year, we wish to thank: Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe, Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe Sunrisers, Nikki’s Chaat Cafe, Colonial Bank, H.E.R.O. (Harrah’s Employees Reaching Out), John and Carol, L. Norton, and Cherie Kagan, for Adopting-A-Day of Nourishment this year as well as Heavenly Mountain Resort scheduled for Jan. 11; Ernie’s Coffeehouse, Thunderbird Lodge and Applebee’s Restaurant for hosting fund-raising events; Moose Lodge of South Lake Tahoe for their monetary and food donations, American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament, NBC Sports and Tahoe Magic for their generous financial support; and to all the individuals and families who have supported us throughout the year with monetary donations large and small.
