SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Bread & Broth’s Monday Meal is the flagship program of the all-volunteer, charitable organization that operates as a ministry of St. Theresa Church. Since 1989, the organization has been feeding the food vulnerable of the Lake Tahoe South Shore community. Over the last 37 years, the organization has continued to expand its outreach, offering additional food services to those in need.

The weekly Monday Meal provides hot, full-course nutritious dinners and is the most well-known service since it has been the organization’s longest running service. Bread & Broth offerings now include the Second Serving Meal, held on Fridays at the Lake Tahoe Presbyterian Church, and the B&B 4 Kids program, which delivers healthy, kid-friendly food throughout the year to food-insecure children through the LTUSD schools and childcare centers serving low-income families. Each week, approximately 450-500 food-insecure community members benefit from B&B programs.

Bread & Broth is deeply grateful for the community’s support of its mission of easing hunger. Liberty is one such supporter, having sponsored 4-6 Adopt A Day of Nourishments annually since 2018. Liberty’s first sponsorship of 2026 took place on February 23rd, when Liberty team members Gary Baugh, James Martin, Cindy Ramos, and Ray Torrez joined the B&B volunteers to serve the evening’s dinner.

During the three-hour AAD team’s serving shift, the Liberty team enthusiastically assisted with the meal’s setup, packed fresh fruit, and vegetables into ‘giveaway’ bags, served dinner to grateful dinner guests, and helped with the meal’s takedown and cleanup. Ray described the experience as enjoyable, noting “Fun experience, time flies by so quickly helping others,” shared Ray.

Cindy and Gary also shared their thoughts about their volunteering experience. Cindy remarked that it was a ‘fantastic experience serving the community and everyone was so kind,” while Gary commented, “Diners and B&B volunteers were happy about what they’re doing here. Fantastic job done by all!”

Liberty is committed to serving the community not only through outstanding utility service to their customers, but also by encouraging their team members to participate in volunteer projects and programs that benefit the community. Bread & Broth appreciates Liberty’s exceptional involvement in helping provide meals and food to vulnerable community members.
