Letter: Heavenly gives back at Bread & Broth
To the community,
With funds provided by Vail’s EpicPromise grants, Heavenly Mountain Resort partners with Bread & Broth to annually host six Monday meal dinners at St. Theresa’s Grace Hall.
Every other month, Heavenly sponsors an Adopt A Day of Nourishment and sends a team of volunteers to help crew at their sponsorship dinner. On Dec. 11, hosting their last AAD of the year, Heavenly’s volunteer sponsor crew was manned by Michelle Beall, Kelly Campbell, Chris Eckert, Katie Ficeto and Frank Papandrea.
“We are so appreciative of all that St. Theresa Bread & Broth does for our community,” said Campbell. “It is an honor to support their efforts and help our neighbors and community.”
Through their AAD donation of $250, Heavenly helps B&B provide a hot, full-course meal to the evening’s dinner guests. These guests include seniors on a fixed income, struggling families, the homeless, students, and workers earning minimum wage. In many cases, the Monday meal is their only hot meal for the week.
As always, the Heavenly team members were helpful, warm and welcoming. Since most of the crew had served several times at a Monday meal, they jumped right in to make the evening meal a pleasant and welcoming dinner event for the guest. B&B volunteers are always excited when they see that a Heavenly crew will be hosting an Adopt A Day meal. B&B would like to thank Vail corporation, Heavenly Mountain Resort and their employee crew members for their amazing generosity and efforts to serve to those in need.
