SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Bread & Broth’s Adopt A Day of Nourishment is a sponsorship program which began in 2011 and has been very successful in providing an opportunity for community members, businesses, churches, and organizations to financially support and participate in a Bread & Broth weekly Monday Meal dinner.
For a tax-deductible donation of $350, AAD sponsors host a designated Monday Meal. The donated funds are used to help to fill the bellies of 100 people with a hot, nutritious, well-balanced meal prepared and cooked by B&B’s talented and creative cooking teams.
The program is tailored to not only financially support the cost of the meal but to provide the opportunity for AAD sponsors and their AAD crew to assist at their designated Monday Meal. Arriving at 3 p.m., the AAD crew members join the regular B&B volunteers in setting up the meal, bagging food ‘giveaway bags, manning the serving line at 4 p.m. when the dinner guests are invited in, and then from 5:30 until 6 p.m., helping with the meal’s cleanup…Read more

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – During the month of April, Bread & Broth 4 Kids (BB4K) volunteers hosted a booth at Flatstick Pub to raise money for the weekend food bag program. Flatstick donated $1 to the organization for every round of mini golf played and for every beer purchased all day on Sundays during the month. A total of $1,445 was raised during the month.
The BB4K School Weekend Food Bag Program provides seven single-serving meals, fruit, and snacks for food-insecure children in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District each Friday. This gives them much-needed food over the weekend when away from free school lunches.
