Letter: Elks spend time at Bread & Broth

To the community,

Bread & Broth would like to thank the Tahoe/Douglas Elks Lodge No. 2670 for sponsoring their third Adopt A Day of Nourishment for 2014 on July 28.

“Elks are always on hand to help our community and vets,” said Roger Barragan as he volunteered at B&B’s Monday evening dinner.

B&B appreciates the support that the Tahoe/Douglas Elks Lodge has given to aiding our program in feeding the needy of our community.

With the donation of $250, the Elks Lodge sponsored a spaghetti meal that fed 108 dinner guests with 32 diners coming back for seconds and many “to go” containers given out at the end of the dinner. These meals feed the elderly living on fixed incomes, families in need, the working poor as well as those living outdoors. On many cases, B&B’s meals are the only full course, nutritious meals that our diners receive.

In addition to the Elk Lodge’s financial support, lodge members Roger and Jeanne Barragan, and Don and Dee Young donated their time once again to come in and help the B&B volunteers.

“We look forward to helping our community,” said Jeanne Barragan.

B&B looks forward to teaming with the Tahoe/Douglas Elk Lodge No. 2670 in helping the less fortunate in the Lake Tahoe South Shore Community.
