To the community,

Working the serving line at Bread & Broth’s Monday meal on Sept. 25 were members of the Tahoe Douglas Elk Lodge No. 2670. J.J. Clause, Steve Kurek, Jim Plamenig and Gary Wendt came prepared to represent their fellow Elk Lodge members at the organization’s Adopt of Day of Nourishment.

This enthusiastic group did a fine job hosting the 94 dinner guests who arrived at St. Theresa Grace Hall for the evening’s meal. 

“So gratifying to see the hungry being fed,” said Steve Kurek.  “We feel lucky to be able to help.” 

B&B is so very fortunate to have the Elk’s organization be so involved in partnering with us to help ease hunger in the Lake Tahoe South Shore community. For the past several years, the Elks have been hosting three or four adopt a days annually, which means that they are providing meals to 300-350 people in need yearly through B&B’s Monday meal sponsorship program.

In addition to the Monday meal, B&B also provides soup and a simple entrée at Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church on Fridays, weekend food for LTUSD students during the school year and a Summer B&B 4 Kids food program thanks to a very generous donation dedicated to feeding children throughout the summer.

All of these programs which support the food insecure are only possible due to B&B’s generous sponsors and donors who so generously give of their time and monetary donations. Thank you to all of the members of the Tahoe Douglas Elk Lodge No. 2670 who help us in our mission to ease hunger in our community.
