To the community,

The Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra is a service organization that dedicates its members to supporting charities and events which benefit the community, especially children. Every month the Kiwanis Club selects a different community program or organization to support, and for the month of January the club has sponsored a Bread & Broth Adopt a Day of Nourishment for the last eight years.

For 2018, the Kiwanis Club hosted the Jan. 8 Monday dinner at St. Theresa Grace Hall.  Representing the Kiwanis Club were veteran AAD sponsor crew volunteers Pat Frega, Penny Fairfield, Robert Fleischer and new Kiwanis Club member Richard Burgess. As a first time volunteer at B&B, Burgess enjoyed the experience of being a part of feeding those in need. 

“I enjoy giving back to the community through the Kiwanis Tahoe Sierra Club,” he said.  “Thanks to St. Theresa’s B&B for having us help, charity is a virtue that is very rewarding.” 

For B&B volunteers, partnering with the Kiwanis Club is a lot of fun because the members are always so helpful and they enjoy their time giving to others. Working together to bring food and fellowship to those experiencing hunger, the Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra and B&B jointly provided a much needed service to the needy of our community.
