To the community,

The LTCC ADVANCE Adult Education Program is a recently implemented program at the college whose focus is to train local adults with workforce skills aimed to lead to higher wages and greater employment options. ADVANCE is a collaborative network of local businesses, government offices and the K-12 LTUSD which offers the free instruction to local residents.   In addition to helping adults improve their earning skills, the ADVANCE program wanted to help locals have access to a hot, nutritious meal by sponsoring a Bread & Broth Monday meal.

On April 30 the dinner served at St. Theresa Grace Hall was funded by a donation from the ADVANCE program.   

“We are serving today to help our community members. We’re honored to serve our brothers and sisters in the Tahoe basin and we are grateful to Bread & Broth for providing a much needed service,” was the collaborative quote of the ADVANCE sponsor crew. 

As the ADVANCE crew was volunteering with the dinner’s setup, it was very interesting to hear from the team’s crew members Taylor Bartlett, Melanie Chu, Nancy Harrison, Lisa Shafer and Lori Thorne all about the program. This group of hard working ladies was not only enthusiastic about the ADVANCE program but also about feeding those in need. B&B would like to thank LTCC for its ADVANCE Adult Education Program and wanting to help our community members at many levels from training to easing hunger.
