Keys Cafe opens satellite summer location at Camp Richardson

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Locals and visitors can now enjoy the signature coffee, smoothies, and baked goods of Keys Cafe at both ends of the bike trail with the addition of a satellite location in Camp Richardson's Coffee & Confectionery shop located on Highway 89.

We really saw this as a great opportunity and a synergy between our two businesses,” said Jeremy Gilpin, co-owner of the Tahoe Keys Café. “With such diverse menus we were able to come together and not cross, but be an added benefit to the resort.”

You Matter, I Will Listen

Life isn't always easy and sometimes people just need someone to talk to. Everyone can benefit from some sort of support and it can be as simple as a cup of tea with a friend, a walk around the block or a conversation.

The "You Matter, I Sill Listen" campaign was started last year by Sabrina Owen, manager of El Dorado County Mental Health programs in South Lake Tahoe, to help people be that needed a little support.

As demand soars, Christmas Cheer makes plea for help

The Great Recession continues to rear its head here at home, with demands on social services soaring and a genuine fear that South Shore’s food bank won’t be able to provide Christmas dinner for a record number of families in need.
For 30 years, the Christmas Cheer food bank has helped families celebrate Christmas with a traditional dinner of turkey and all the trimmings. However, with 800 families expected to be on the list of those to receive a dinner, the charity has only 75 donated turkeys and five hams to give and organizers say they are beyond being nervous.
