Kudos: Bread & Broth thanks Dr. Nicole Gordon

Bread & Broth holds two meals weekly throughout the year and everyone in the community is invited to enjoy the communal dinners offered every Monday and Friday at St. Theresa Church Grace Hall (Second Serving will return to the Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church once the fire damage has been mitigated). The Monday Meal, served from 4 – 5:30 p.m., is a hot, nutritious, full-course dinner and the Second Serving meal, served on Fridays from 4 – 5:00 p.m. is a soup served with a simple entrée. In addition to the meals, all dinner guests are invited to take home food “giveaway” bags filled with dairy products (milk, eggs, and butter), fruits, vegetables, and breads and pastries, and containers filled with the evening’s meal leftovers.

The two weekly meals are made possible by the monetary and time donations of many generous individuals, organizations, and businesses in our community. Grocery stores, restaurants, businesses, and individuals donate food and soup; monetary donors give generously; and B&B volunteers donate hours of their personal time to collect food, cook the meals, set up the tables, pack the food ‘giveaway bags’, serve the dinners and clean up after the meals. A Bread & Broth dinner is a meal resulting from contributions of a myriad of committed and generous sources in our community.

Bread & Broth’s ‘Adopt A Day of Nourishment’ is also another way to participate in feeding those in need in our community. Nicole Gordon, D.D.S, sponsored the Monday Meal on September 16th by making a $300 donation to help cover the costs of her Adopt a Day dinner. Her donation fed over 85 dinner guests. Due to her patient load, Dr. Gordon was unable to send a sponsor crew to assist with the dinner, however, Bread & Broth appreciates her generosity and concern that everyone should enjoy a hot, nutritious dinner.
