SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra (SITS) is joining with six cooks from Lasagna Love to sponsor Bread & Broth’s Adopt A Day of Nourishment on Monday, February 10. This special themed meal is for regular guests and any other interested community members at Grace Hall at St. Theresa Catholic Church, 1041 Lyons Avenue, South Lake Tahoe from 4 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

This is the second year that Lasagna Love has partnered with SITS and Bread & Broth to prepare a delicious full-course meal. Last year, almost 150 community members attended the dinner.

Lasagna Love is a group of local volunteers who make and deliver freshly made lasagnas to residents who need a helping hand. The organization was founded in 2020 during the pandemic by a woman who wanted to help her neighbors struggling with isolation, financial difficulties, or job loss. It has grown into an established non-profit throughout the US, Canada, and Australia, with 52,000 volunteers providing dinners to 1.8 million people in the past four years. Lasagna Love made its way to central California and South Lake Tahoe in late 2020. Currently, there are 12 active Lasagna Love cooks in South Lake Tahoe providing an average of five to ten lasagna dinners each week. The organization’s message and mission is clear: feed families, spread kindness and strengthen communities – all with one pan of lasagna at a time and a willingness to share with those in need.

Some SITS members are also Lasagna Love volunteers.

The Feb. 10 lasagna meal at Bread & Broth is a collaboration with local Lasagna Love cooks, Bread & Broth’s serving team, and the meal’s AAD sponsor, Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra. The latter’s goal is to strengthen and enhance the lives of women and youth throughout the community. Soroptimist will provide volunteers to set up, serve, and clean up after the meal, along with providing a $350 sponsorship through the Adopt A Day of Nourishment program, an ongoing effort inviting local Tahoe businesses and organizations to participate.

Lasagna Love will provide a free lasagna for any individual or family requesting a delicious hot dinner. For more information: www.lasagnalove.org/request. For those interested in volunteering and cooking for Lasagna Love, contact www.lasagnalove.org/volunteer.
