Letter: Financial support critical for hungry
To the community,
It was a special evening for the guests at Bread & Broth’s dinner on Sept. 1. Thanks to a generous donation by Robert Stiles, an agent with Chase International, and the outstanding efforts of the evening’s hardworking B&B cooks, the guests were treated to vegetarian pizzas which were made from scratch and served with a delicious alfredo pasta dish.
As the evening’s “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” sponsor, Stiles’ donation of $250 fed over 100 happy and appreciative diners. Stiles’ friend, Lydia Zuniga, cheerfully worked alongside the B&B volunteers on the serving line, preparing the drinks and dessert tables and helping with the meals take down and clean up.
“What a great opportunity to help others,” said Stiles. “I challenge you to do the same.”
As a nonprofit, all volunteer organization, Bread & Broth relies on the generosity of the members of the South Lake Tahoe community such as Stiles to finance the two weekly meals that are provided to the less fortunate members of our community. For almost 25 years, B&B has served a full course meal at St. Theresa Grace Hall every Monday evening, and in the last five years, Second Serving”was added to provide soup and pasta dinners on Friday evening at Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church.
Bread & Broth would like to thank Stiles for his financial support, donating his personal time to be actively involved in the evening’s dinner and for challenging his fellow community members to help the needy of our community.
