Letter: Soroptimist helps at Bread & Broth

To the community,

Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe was the Adopt A Day of Nourishment sponsor for Bread & Broth’s dinner Aug. 25.

On behalf of her fellow AAD sponsor volunteer crew members, Sue Novasel explained the organization’s support of the B&B program: “Soroptimists are concerned about hunger in our local community and will continue to focus on this most important issue. We are honored to serve our community members in need.”

Bread & Broth would like to thank the Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe for the $250 donation, which fed over 105 dinner guests. One of the Soroptimist’s missions is to improve the lives of women and girls in their local community. By hosting the evening’s dinner, Soroptimist helped to feed an increasing number of those in need in our South Shore community, many of which are women who are elderly, in need of employment, raising young children or are homeless.

Joining Novasel as AAD sponsor volunteers were fellow Soroptimist members Pam Barrett, Mickey Madden, Julie Cathie and Brenda Knox. Also volunteering in the capacity as both Soroptimist members and B&B fourth week crew cooks were Cindy Archer, Soroptimist president, and Vicki Gonzales.

B&B is fortunate to work in partnership with the Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe members to improve the lives of those in our community. To help B&B as a donor or sponsor, contact me at 530.542.2876 or carolsgerard@aol.com.
