To the community,

The local Tahoe Douglas Elks Lodge No. 2670 has been an ongoing sponsor for Bread & Broth’s Adopt A Day of Nourishment and generously hosts two or three sponsorship dinners annually.   

Their most current AAD sponsorship was at B&B’s Monday meal on March 12 and thanks to their sponsorship, B&B fed 84 dinner guests a home style meatloaf dinner served with mashed potatoes with gravy, broccoli and a green salad lovingly cooked and prepared by the B&B’s wonderful volunteer cooks.

Volunteering on their AAD crew team, Elks Lodge members Jeanne and Roger Barragan, Karen and Jim Plamenig, Steve Kurek and Gary R. Wendt helped B&B’s setup and serving volunteer crew for three hours bagging food giveaway bags, setting up the dessert table, manning the dinner serving line, and cleaning and storing the dinner’s tables and chairs. It’s a busy three hours and the help the Elks Lodge members provided making the meal service run smoothly was greatly appreciated by the evening’s B&B volunteers.

“We enjoy helping feed the needy and we are thankful for the chance to be a part of the community that assists easing hunger for those in need,” commented Jeanne Barragan. She also noted the appreciation and the thanks expressed by the dinner’s guest as they were served their heaping trays of the tasty meatloaf dinner.
