Kudos: Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation grant supports COVID-19 Emergency Food Response

Bread & Broth is extremely grateful to have been awarded a Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation Grant designed to provide financial resources to continue the organization’s efforts to respond to the food insecurity created by the COVID-19 crisis. The Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation is a non-profit charity, founded in 1996, dedicated to supporting the Lake Tahoe Region by partnering with donors who are committed to helping local non-profit organizations create a more prosperous regional community.

The $10,000 Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation donation has been used to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy products, and meat for Bread & Broth’s Monday and Friday COVID-19 Emergency Response food giveaway program as well as securing nutritious, kid-friendly food items for the B&B 4 Kids weekend backpacks. In addition, the funding from Parasol will assist us in our efforts to transition back to our traditional hot meal services, tentatively scheduled for January and February of 2022.

Being a first-time recipient of a Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation Community Fund Grant, Bread & Broth is honored to be entrusted with this very generous grant. We have used the funds to purchase healthy and nutritious food that on a weekly average has touched the lives of over 1,030 men, women and children dealing with food insecurity since the inception of the pandemic. We are thankful to the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation for their support of our efforts to ensure that no individual in the Lake Tahoe South Shore community goes hungry.
