SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Established in 1950, the South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) provides South Lake Tahoe residents with safe drinking water and manages the community’s wastewater in a way that protects the area’s sensitive and beautiful environment. In addition to providing these critical services, STPUD team members recently demonstrated their commitment to the community by sponsoring a Bread & Broth Monday Meal and helping vulnerable residents who are struggling during challenging economic times.
On Monday, July 6, STPUD hosted Bread & Broth’s Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD) Monday Meal. The district was represented by Diana Cervantes, Customer Service Representative; Megan Colvey, Director of Engineering; Kilty Devine, Purchasing Manager; Anthony Gregorich, Safety Specialist; and Jon Rohrobaugh, Electrical Engineer. Collectively, the STPUD staff shared, “STPUD is honored to take part in such a great opportunity to give back to the community. Thank you to the Bread & Broth volunteers for having us; we thoroughly enjoyed being part of an Adopt A Day meal service.”
Because the meal took place close to the July 4 holiday and 250th anniversary celebration, Bread & Broth’s Monday Meal cooking crew prepared a summer holiday-themed dinner. The menu included “super” sloppy joes, coleslaw, cheesy French fries, elote corn, and fresh fruit salad, which the STPUD AAD crew served to 132 dinner guests at St. Theresa’s Grace Hall.
In addition to being on the meal’s serving line, the STPUD crew members helped pack 130 food giveaway bags filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. They also helped arrange giveaway tables stocked with breads, pastries, meat, canned goods, dairy products—including milk, eggs, and butter—and other basic staples donated by local food businesses.
Bread & Broth appreciates STPUD for its continued commitment to the community. While the district is currently working on major projects planned for the next three to five years—including replacing infrastructure, improving reliability, supporting regulatory compliance, and maintaining sustainable utility service—the STPUD staff still made time to help feed their neighbors in need. Providing a hot, restaurant-quality meal and nutritious food for later in the week has a meaningful impact on the people Bread & Broth serves and B&B thanks all of the staff of the
STPUD for their help and support.
