To the community,

For over 26 years, Bread & Broth has been serving the community by providing free meals to those who struggle to put food on their tables and provide just the basic needs for daily living. As a nonprofit that is staffed by an all-volunteer crew, B&B relies on our very generous community donors to provide the funds needed to cover the costs associated with providing the dinners.

On Jan. 25, Kirkwood Mountain Resort was the Adopt-A-Day sponsor, which donated $250 for the meal’s costs and provided a group of sponsor volunteers that wanted to help their fellow community members in need.

Arriving at 3pm and ready to help were members of Kirkwood’s hospitality team Robert Shaffer, entry houseman; Ben Hutchinson, front office manager; Sam Rudman, front desk supervisor; Julia White, front desk agent; and Frank Dixon, financial analyst.

After an hour helping with the dinner’s setup and packing the giveaway bags, the sponsor crew served first and second servings of chicken, potatoes and salad to the dinner guests, packaged to go containers and finished up their volunteer evening helping with the cleanup.

“I enjoyed serving food to people in my community,” wrote Rudman of her time at B&B’s dinner. “It is so great to give something back.”

There is really something very satisfying in participating in a B&B meal and seeing the impact a nutritious, full course meal has on the diners. Bread & Broth would like to salute Kirkwood Mountain Resort and their sponsor crew for making a difference in the lives of others.
