STATELINE, Nev. – The Tahoe Beach Club at Stateline has been spreading holiday cheer to the local community since Thanksgiving. They’ve delivered food and collected gifts.

On Thanksgiving Day, the Tahoe Beach Club (TBC) team delivered dinner to all firefighters on duty at Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District. They created a gourmet feast for over 20 firefighters to enjoy while working the holiday. The food was greatly appreciated, and the Beach Club team plans to continue their efforts – delivering charcuterie, crudités, and cookies to the South Lake Tahoe Police Department on Christmas Day.

“It’s always hard for the TDFPD crews to work the holidays, but thanks to Tahoe Beach Club Chef and his crew, the on-duty firefighters enjoyed a piping hot & delicious Thanksgiving feast with their spouses,” said Battalion Chief Steve Prather. “TBC making memories – thank you!”

The giving didn’t stop there. TBC also partnered with Live Violence Free, Toys for Tots, and Zephyr Cove Elementary School to support over 30 families in need. TBC members went above and beyond with toys for each child and grocery gift cards for their parents. Some members even hand-knitted blankets and hats as thoughtful gifts.

“We are incredibly grateful that Tahoe Beach Club was able to adopt over 30 families. The holidays can be especially stressful and full of challenges for survivors and their families. Community support like this truly makes an impact in the lives of those we serve,” shared Chelcee Thomas, executive director of Live Violence Free.
