Bread & Broth

Bread & Broth was recently awarded a $16,000 cash donation from Vail's EpicPromise grant

Azul Latin Kitchen, located in the Heavenly Village, recently awarded a check for $13,000 to Bread and Broth. The donation was largely in part from a $1 donation by Azul for every Queso Fundido appetizer sold (fundido appetizer contributions put the "FUN" in fundraising!), as well the annual fundraiser held at the end of November.

If you follow local news, you've likely read stories about Bread & Broth, a ministry of St. Theresa Catholic Church, whose mission is to feed those in need in South Lake Tahoe. This dedicated organization, comprised wholly of volunteers of all faiths and denominations, continues to directly meet the needs of local residents through their programs, which include the service of twice weekly, hot, full-course meals and healthy food giveaway bags, as well as providing nutritious kid-friendly food to children from the ages of 18 months to 18 years.

If you are a member of Heavenly's Ski Patrol, serving others is just part of your job responsibilities. On the slopes, ski patrol members are constantly on watch for unsafe skiing conditions, assisting skiers and boarders, and helping make sure that everyone has an enjoyable and safe day on the slopes. Wanting to serve others is second nature for the members of the Heavenly Ski Patrol.

As an all-volunteer organization, St. Theresa's Bread & Broth is able to help ease hunger with the compassionate and enthusiastic support of over 240 active volunteers. From coordinating and collecting food; to preparing and serving hot, full-course meals; to bagging and delivering bags of healthy, kid-friendly food to hungry children; to administrating all of these food outreach services, our volunteer base performs an amazing array of duties to help the organization fulfill its role of easing hunger in the Lake Tahoe South Shore Community.

During 2024, Heavenly Mountain Resort hosted six Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishments thanks to Vail's Epic Promise Grant.

Recently, St. Theresa's Bread & Broth organization was awarded a very generous $16,000 grant to address food insecurity in the Lake Tahoe South Shore community.

Over 35 years ago, Father John Grace, St. Theresa's Pastor, envisioned serving food to the local community when many were struggling, faced with job layoffs and a lack of food on the table. His efforts, along with the help of members of the Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church and other community-minded members of the South Lake Tahoe Community, brought to fruition the Bread & Broth (B&B) organization.

Bread & Broth is extremely grateful to be the non-profit charity organization selected by the Azul Latin Kitchen teams members to be its charity fundraising partner for 2024.

Bread & Broth (B&B), a charitable, all-volunteer organization whose mission is to ease hunger in the Lake Tahoe South Shore community, is looking for service-minded community members who are interested in joining our dedicated team of volunteers.

On Friday, September 6th, Bread & Broth resumes their B&B 4 Kids School Year Weekend Food Bag program. Weekend food bags are distributed every Friday at all five pre-K through 8th grade schools in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District (Bijou Community School, Meyers Elementary School, Sierra House Elementary, Tahoe Valley Elementary, and South Tahoe Middle School ) along with students enrolled in the McKinney-Vento program at Lake Tahoe High School and Mt. Tallac Continuation High School.

The 2024 St. Theresa Bread & Broth 4 Kids Summer Program begins June 26 and will continue every Wednesday through August 21st.

On Monday June 3rd, SITS hosted a Monday Meal and sent six members to participate as Bread and Broth Adopt A Day volunteer crew members.

Bread & Broth is extremely fortunate to have Adopt A Day of Nourishment sponsors that have hosted the organization's Monday Meal on a regular basis.

Bread & Broth is a charitable organization that has been easing hunger in the Lake Tahoe South Shore community for over three decades.

Bread & Broth has purchased the food and volunteers have been enlisted to host Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 20 at St. Theresa Catholic Church in South Lake Tahoe.
