Cram-a-Cruiser event to gather food for Bread & Broth 4 Kids program

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The semi-annual Cram-A-Cruiser Day will be held at the Grocery Outlet at 2358 Lake Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe on Saturday, May 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Cram-A-Cruiser day encourages the community to fill up a South Lake Tahoe police cruiser with food to be given to children at local schools who need nutrition over the weekend when the LTUSD free lunch program doesn't cover meals.

Bread & Broth 4 Kids now gives over 180 children a backpack full of food every Friday during the school year. They are wrapping up their fourth school year in helping those in need. Each backpack of food contains two breakfasts, two lunches, three dinners and four snacks over a normal weekend, and more during holiday periods.

This summer will be their second one to give away weekly food to local children. Starting June 26. 2019 Bread & Broth 4 Kids will be giving away food each Wednesday until school begins in August.

Donations of the following food items are needed so please stop by to donate or make a monetary donation for the nonprofit to use in the purchase of food supplies.
