Kudos: Kiwanians serve up a meal at Bread & Broth

For the past 5 years, the Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra has been sponsoring Bread & Broth “Adopt A day of Nourishment” on the second Monday in the month of January. True to form, on January 11, Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra members Jan Lynds, Pat Frega and Bob “Snow Bum” Fleischer were there pitching in at B&B’s evening dinner. The Kiwanis Club’s annual sponsorship is always appreciated by B&B and their volunteers always look forward to working with our “repeat” sponsor volunteers.

Pat Frega has been a frequent sponsor volunteer and is now an experienced helper at the B&B dinners that he attends. For Jan and Bob, this was their first time at a B&B dinner and they both were great “novice” volunteers. Packing “giveaway” bags, setting up the dessert and drink table, manning the serving line and helping with cleanup makes for a long 3 hours but all of the Kiwanis volunteers stayed through the end of the evening.

“What a wonderful experience! This is one of the things volunteering is all about,” said Bob. “Great food was served, well appreciated by the many served with a delicious meal. Great helpers, cooks and cleanup crews.”

All of B&B’s helpers are volunteers and without them there would be no Monday dinners for the hungry of our community. However, there also would be no Monday dinners without the financial support of organizations like the Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra. Working together with our volunteers, donors and sponsors, B&B has been able to ease hunger in the South Tahoe community for the last 26 years.
