Bread & Broth 4 Kids needs volunteers and donations

To help South Lake Tahoe children in need, Bread & Broth 4 Kids has been formed to bring weekend food to 100 students each week. The bag of food is to help with meals when they aren't in school and able to receive free breakfasts and lunches Monday through Friday.

Bread & Broth is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that provides free, hot meals to those in need in South Lake Tahoe. They are now seeking donations and volunteers for the new kid's program.

Teams of volunteers will meet each Thursday at St. Theresa Grace Hall locate at 1041 Lyons Avenue from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to fill up the bags. Each bad contains seven meals and snacks, giving kids needed nutrition over the weekend.

Volunteer teams will work just one day a month, and those teams are now being formed.

Each week, 300 dinners, 200 breakfasts and 200 lunches and 400 snacks are needed to fill the bags. All food packed is non-perishable and easy for kids to prepare themselves.

Sponsorship opportunities are available, from sponsoring one student for one-half a school year ($100) or one school year ($200). Each bag packing day is $500.
