Liberty helps feed community members during holiday season
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – As local individuals and families struggle with the rising cost of food and other daily necessities, Bread & Broth and its Monday Meal Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD) sponsors are making a meaningful impact by providing hot, nutritious meals as well as bags of healthy take-home food for those who attend B&B’s Monday Meal. These meals are served at St. Theresa’s Grace Hall from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., welcoming everyone who comes for a full-course meal and the opportunity to enjoy the company of others.
In addition to the funds generously donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses, Adopt A Day of Nourishment sponsorships of $350 each enable Bread & Broth to serve the filling meals and provide food for meals later in the week. Apart from the annual Thanksgiving meal, an Adopt A Day sponsor hosts each of the remaining 51 Monday Meals throughout the year.

On December 15, Liberty served as the AAD sponsor for the sixth time this year. In addition to its financial support, Liberty provided five sponsor crew members, Jennifer Guenther and Kate Marrone (both Liberty team members) and Liberty friends Cindy Kortan, Megan LaChapelle, and Terence Reardon to help with the meal service.
Taking a brief break from the serving line, Cindy Kortan reflected on her experience, “It was a wonderful experience to see our community members be so welcomed as they came in to eat a warm meal served by others in the community. There are so many friendly, appreciative, and happy faces as they come through the dinner line. This is a fabulous program.”
A special thanks goes out to Jennifer Guenther, who organizes all of Liberty’s Adopt A Day sponsorships and coordinates the sponsor crew team members. She shared that Liberty is especially active in the community during the holiday season. Besides supporting Bread & Broth’s Monday Meal, Liberty supports families during the holidays with donations to other local non-profit organizations and its employees volunteer at the local Toys for Tots events.
Jennifer added, “Thanks again for having us again last night. What a wonderful way to end the year!”
Bread & Broth appreciates the support and trust that the community places in our all-volunteer, charitable organization. In addition to the weekly Monday Meal, B&B offers a second meal on Fridays from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church and provides weekend kid-friendly food to children from the ages of 18 months to 18 years of age through the LTUSD and childcare centers that serve low-income families.
