To the community,

Tahoe Best Friends owner Paige Rice has a big heart not only for all of the family pets that she and her team at Tahoe Best Friends train and care for, but also for those less fortunate members of our community who are in need of a helping hand.

On Feb. 1, Rice sponsored an Adopt A Day of Nourishment dinner held by Bread & Broth at St. Theresa Grace Hall. She brought Tahoe Best Friends’ employees Allison Brilliant and Maureen Stuhlman, and friend and customer Judy Arnold to help at her sponsorship dinner.

“The smiles of both the guests and the volunteers brightened the day. It is a wonderful mix of people who share experiences at dinner,” said Stuhlman. Complementing the B&B cooks, she added, “The taste of the food was restaurant quality and we all felt the gratitude for it.”

The dinner guests agreed, with over half coming back for seconds of the evening’s meatloaf, pasta with a mushroom sauce, sauté cauliflower and salad.

Bread & Broth would like to thank Rice and her sponsor crew for their kindness and helpfulness throughout their time at the dinner event. These four ladies kept busy working alongside the B&B volunteers and “enjoyed the wonderful experience.”  Taking the time to help others and provide the funding to help those struggling with hunger speaks volumes for Rice and her sponsor crew.
