To the community,

Bread & Broth, a nonprofit, all volunteer organization whose mission is to ease hunger in the South Tahoe community, would like to recognize the Heavenly ski patrol for hosting their second Adopt A Day of Nourishment this year. Heavenly’s ski patrol provided the funding for the 138 meals served at B&B’s Monday evening dinner on Feb. 29. This Adopt A Day was a follow up to their sponsorship on Jan. 18.

Heavenly ski patrol members have raised funds to support local charities and for the past several years. B&B is very fortunate to be the recipient of their cash donations and having ski patrol members join the B&B volunteers at their sponsorship dinners. On Feb. 29, the sponsor crew consisted of Heavenly ski patrol volunteers Tom Taylor and Leilani Connolly; and Heavenly ski patrol team members Jeff Miller, Brandon Commanda and Marissa Streck. They were a fun and hardworking sponsor crew and they were a big help to the B&B volunteers.

“Heavenly Ski Patrol is all about helping people that need help,” said Tom Taylor.  “Teaming up with Bread & Broth seemed like a perfect fit for us, helping those in need.”

B&B diners are seniors living on a fixed income, individuals between jobs, families struggling through difficult times, minimum wage workers and those who have no place to stay. If you ask any of these food insecure people, the meal sponsored by the Heavenly ski patrol was definitely a much needed gift.
