To the community,

The Summer B&B 4 Kids program is off to a roaring start. Thanks to the foresight of Vail President Rob Katz and his wife, Elana Amsterdam, the South Lake Tahoe summer program is in full swing. Vail and B&B have been amazed and excited to be able to provide children up to the age of 18 a full bag of nutritionally balanced food each week to help them stay healthy and active.

We even had three generations of a charitable family from the Bay Area come and bag with us. Grandad Norman Harris, mom Marlene Common, and son Zachary Common along with friend Devin Smith were kind enough to donate their vacation time to help ease hunger in South Lake Tahoe.

“It was more fun than we thought and never a dull moment. We are happy to volunteer with such wonderful new friends,” said the family.

To date the Summer B&B 4 Kids program has given away bags of nourishment to over 700 South Lake Tahoe children. If you would like to help, please contact mavecilla24@gmail.com.
