To the community,

“It is important work that we enjoy giving back to the community in which we live,” said Leslie Amato about her experience as a sponsor volunteer crew member from Heavenly Mountain Resort at Bread & Broth’s dinner on Dec. 5. 

As the evening dinner’s Adopt A Day sponsor, Heavenly hosted the meal which consisted of a hearty shepherd’s pie served with oven baked zucchini, green salad, fruit salad and a variety of pies and cakes.

The hot, nutritious, full course meals served every Monday to any and all that come to St. Theresa’s Grace Hall are made possible by the efforts of many caring and dedicated volunteers and financial donors such as Heavenly Mountain Resort. B&B would like to thank Amato, Heavenly day care manager, and her fellow sponsor crew members Shylo Schumaher, human resources specialist; Peter Spellman, finance; and Joshua Gonzalez and Erin McAvoy, mountain dining managers, for their great service at the evening meal.

According to Leslie, the Heavenly sponsor crew’s favorite comment came from a dinner guest who was “thanking us for sharing our smiles.”  It is a very rewarding and fulfilling experience to share your time and concern to help others in need and the smiles are just a byproduct of those feelings. Kudos to Heavenly Mountain Resort and their outstanding team members who partner with B&B to give hope and care to hungry, at risk people.
