To the community,

For the past five years, the Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra has been sponsoring Bread & Broth Adopt A day of Nourishment on the second Monday in the month of January. True to form, on Jan. 11 Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra members Jan Lynds, Pat Frega and Bob “Snow Bum” Fleischer were there pitching in at B&B’s evening dinner.

The Kiwanis Club’s annual sponsorship is always appreciated by B&B and the B&B volunteers always look forward to working with our repeat sponsor volunteers.

Frega has been a frequent sponsor volunteer and is now an experienced helper at the B&B dinners that he attends. For Lynds and Fleisher, this was their first time at a B&B dinner and they both were great novice volunteers. Packing giveaway bags, setting up the dessert and drink table, manning the serving line and helping with cleanup makes for a long three hours, but all of the Kiwanis volunteers stayed through the end of the evening.

“What a wonderful experience! This is one of the things volunteering is all about,” said Fleisher. “Great food was served, well appreciated by the many served with a delicious meal. Great helpers, cooks and cleanup crews.”

All of B&B’s helpers are volunteers and without them there would be no Monday dinners for the hungry of our community. However, there also would be no Monday dinners without the financial support of organizations like the Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra.   Working together with our volunteers, donors and sponsors, B&B has been able to ease hunger in the South Tahoe community for the last 26 years.
