Bread & Broth in need of volunteers

Bread & Broth is a nonprofit, non-denominational, all volunteer program whose goal is to feed the neediest members of the South Lake Tahoe community. The Bread & Broth program is looking for community members who are interested in joining our dedicated team of volunteers.

There are many opportunities for serving in Bread & Broth’s program. Volunteers are needed for food and supply pickups from contributing stores, farmer’s markets and regional food banks. There are five Monday and Friday evening “food service teams” with each team serving a specific week of the month. The food service team members who serve from 3-6pm are responsible for setting up, serving the meals and dish washing duty.

In addition, every Monday has a cleanup crew serving from 5:15-6:30pm, which stacks chairs, cleans and takes down tables, vacuums and mops the kitchen floor.

Bread & Broth also needs substitute volunteers to fill in for regular crew member vacancies. A deep cleaning crew comes in every three months and gives the kitchen a through degreasing and cleaning.

As a volunteer, you can come in one Monday a month as a food service team member or a cleanup crew member. Food collection occurs on a weekly basis.

A food safety class is required for food service and substitute food service team volunteering. The next Food Safety Training Class is scheduled for Feb. 11th at 6pm at Grace Hall, St. Theresa Church. Attendees will learn more about our program, opportunities to serve and the safety issues associated with serving meals to guests.

Finally, Bread & Broth is also in need of a communications chairperson who is responsible for updating B&B’s website and communicating B&B information to the community.
