SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – On Monday, May 11, Vail’s Kirkwood Mountain Resort was the host for Bread & Broth’s free early evening dinner which was attended by 130 grateful local residents. The full-course meal was funded in part by Vail’s Epic Promise Grant’s $350 Adopt A Day of Nourishment sponsorship fee along with funding provided by donations to Bread & Broth’s General Fund.

The evening meal of pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, and French fries was a hit with the dinner guests; with 23 returning for seconds and 19 taking home ‘meals to go”. In addition,

Bread & Broth provides bags of food for the dinner guests to take home for meals later in the week. The bags include basic staples such as meat, dairy products, fresh fruit and vegetables, breads and pastries, and varied assortment of yogurt, salads, and canned goods.

Volunteering on the meal’s Adopt A Day Crew were Kirkwood team members Will Cain, Derek Duff, Sage McDermott, and Lucy Warren. Since Kirkwood has been hosting Adopt A Day of Nourishment since 2015, many of the sponsor crew members have volunteered over the years and are a big help to the Bread & Broth volunteers with the meal’s setup, serving, and takedown/cleanup.

“Bread & Broth is a wonderful event,” shared Sage. ” We always enjoy helping out and seeing everyone’s smiling faces.” Not only are the dinner guests enjoying themselves at the Monday Meal, but it also provides the volunteers with a warm and ‘feel good’ experience. Volunteering at a B&B dinner event is a great way to help others by serving a warm, nourishing meal.

Bread & Broth is extremely fortunate to have the support of the Vail enterprise. In addition to providing EpicPromise grant funds to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables for the Monday Meal and kid-friendly food for B&B 4 Kids’ program, the grant funds also sponsor 12 Adopt A Day sponsorships annually which are hosted by Heavenly and Kirkwood Resort crew members.

Thank you to the Kirkwood crew who did an outstanding job in helping the B&B volunteers provide a successful meal and who put a lot of heart into providing a welcoming and warm experience for the dinner guests.
