To the community,

Bread & Broth is once again very appreciative of the response of members of the South Lake Tahoe community for their support in providing hot, nutritious meals to the neediest members of our community. From April 30 through July 3h, of the fourteen Monday meals servings, eight of the meals had sponsors who participated in Bread & Broth’s Adopt a Day of Nourishment.

The donors sponsorship of $250, covered the cost of the food, supplies and utilities needed in preparation of serving the meals. In addition to their generous donation, six of the AAD sponsors provided volunteer teams to work side by side with the B&B volunteer staff members in setting up, serving and cleaning up during their Monday sponsorship dinner.

Heavenly Mountain Resort continued their monthly support of B&B by sponsoring three Adopt a Days (May 21, June 25 and July 16) during this three-month period. Once again, the Heavenly volunteers enthusiastically worked side by side with B&B volunteers, with many of the Heavenly volunteers having served at previous Heavenly sponsorships.

On April 30, Hope Lutheran Church of the Sierra hosted the first of two sponsorships that they will be hosting this year. Hope Lutheran Church’s volunteer crew consisted of members of their congregation of which many were regular B&B Team 5 (normally volunteering the fifth Monday of the month) members.

Two new sponsors for the Bread & Broth’s Adopt A Day of Nourishment program were Zephyr Computer and Lake Tahoe Community College. Zephyr Computer owned by David and Judy Ratz sponsored July 2. They were delighted to be involved in helping their community and expressed an interest in sponsoring a future day. Lake Tahoe Community College hosted July 30 by having members of the LTCC administrative and instructional staff act as crew volunteers. Lake Tahoe Community College members are so committed to their support of the South Lake Tahoe community that they have already signed up to adopt Nov. 26.

In addition, anonymous donors sponsored the May 14 and July 23 Monday evening meals.
