Kudos: Bread & Broth thanks Vail EpicPromise, Heavenly and Kirkwood

Every year In November, Vail EpicPromise Grants are generously awarded to many local community non-profit organizations including the Bread & Broth organization. In addition to supporting Bread & Broth’s B&B 4 Kids Program, the Vail Grant provides funds to sponsor 12 annual B&B Adopt A Day of Nourishment dinners which are served at St. Theresa Grace Hall on Monday evenings to any member of the community who attends the dinner.

At their Adopt A Day sponsorship dinners, Heavenly and Kirkwood Mountain Resorts each send their team members who volunteer at the meals. These Vail volunteers bring tremendous enthusiasm and warmth, and a willingness to help that makes them favorites of the B&B volunteers.

On September 23rd, it was Kirkwood Mountain Resort’s turn to host the Monday Meal. Taking a break from serving a BBQ chicken dinner, first time Kirkwood sponsor volunteer Baily Weiss shared her thoughts. “Amazing experience that you can truly tell helps people in our community. We appreciate everyone who comes out to help this effort and we love that we get to be a part of it.” Fellow Kirkwood team members Cara Bourne, Anjie Goulding, Jarrett Morgan, Armado Shalhoub, and Chanel Walker joined Baily in volunteering their personal time to feed others.

Then on October 7th, Anjie Goulding volunteered again but this time with Heavenly Mountain Resort’s crew members Lynn Brickman and Alda Samavas. These three young women worked alongside of the B&B volunteers bagging food “giveaway” bags, serving a BBQ pork rib dinner, and ending their volunteer evening helping with the meal’s cleanup.

Bread & Broth’s organization is very appreciative of the funds and the man hours that are donated to help with our food programs and commends Vail for its outstanding support of the many non-profit organizations within our community.
