Kudos: Friends of Our Lady of Tahoe Feed Hungry

“Today was a wonderful experience,” commented Sheldon Zimbler, as he was volunteering as a member of Friends of Our Lady of Tahoe Catholic Church “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” sponsor crew. “It was good to not watch TV, especially in this difficult time, rather to feel a very small part of the solution.” Sheldon and fellow sponsor volunteer Ed Day came to Bread & Broth’s dinner on July 11 to work alongside B&B volunteers to serve the food insecure of the Tahoe South Shore community.

The full course evening dinners served at St. Theresa Grace Hall every Monday by the Bread & Broth program are funded by our very generous donors who provide the $250 used to purchase food, serving supplies and utilities for each Monday evening dinner. Such wonderful sponsors as Friends of Our Lady of Tahoe Catholic Church feed up to 120 nutritious meals at their evening dinners and provide a safe and secure environment for those who struggle daily with just the basic needs of life.

At the Friends of Our Lady of Tahoe sponsorship dinner, Ed and Sheldon served 110 dinner guests a wonderful meal with a Salmon entrée, roasted potatoes, green beans, asparagus, tomato salad and a wide array of desserts. In addition to the main meal, food “give away” bags and meal left over containers were distributed by the hard working Ed, Sheldon and the Week #2 B&B team members. Sheldon best described the atmosphere at the Monday evening dinner with his comment, “The volunteers were great. The dinner guests were so appreciative. God bless us all.”
