To the community,

The Tahoe Douglas Elks Lodge No. 2670, an on-going supporter of the Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishment program, hosted Bread & Broth’s Monday meal on June 12. 

The Elks Lodge is a service organization whose members work together on national and local levels to help the needy through community service. The Tahoe Douglas Elks Lodge exemplifies their mission through the many serve projects they perform for the South Lake Tahoe community and the Bread & Broth organization.

“Tahoe Douglas Elks are always available to help Bread & Broth,” stated Steve Kurek. 

Generally, this local Elk Lodge will sponsor two to three AAD sponsorships annually. As the sponsor crew members were leaving for the evening, they were requesting to sign up for another Adopt A Day this year.  

Roger Barragan, chairman trustee Elk, along with Steve Lannen, joined Kurek for the evening’s setup, serving and cleanup activities. These three Elk Lodge members were a big help and warmly welcomed and served the evening’s dinner guests.

Thanks to our wonderful and generous AAD sponsors and donors, B&B is able to ease hunger for seniors living on fixed incomes, struggling families, the working poor, as well as those who are homeless. B&B not only brings food to those in need, but offers fellowship and dignity to those experiencing hunger and difficult life situations.  B&B would like to salute the Tahoe Douglas Elk Lodge No. 2670 members for their commitment to bettering the lives of our community members.

Carol Gerard, Bread & Broth
