SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Once a year Forest Suites Resort hosts an Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD) and their sponsorship involves donating $350 to help cover the evening’s meal costs. An AAD sponsorship also involves sending 3-5 of their team members to volunteer their time assisting the Bread & Broth volunteers with the many tasks needed to serve a hot, full-course meal and to pack bags of food to give out to the dinner guests to take home to help with meals the remainder of the week.
The team at Forest Suites Resort, consisting of Ernesto Jimerez, Anahi Robles, and Oswald Rodriguez, successfully provided a wholesome dinner for 127 guests. They also assisted in packing food bags, arranging the dessert and beverage station, and concluded their AAD volunteer shift with the cleanup and breakdown of the meal. Many AAD volunteers share the sentiment that interacting with and serving the dinner guests is the most rewarding aspect of their volunteering experience.

On behalf of her fellow AAD volunteers, Anahi shared that “the Forst Suites staff had a phenomenal experience volunteering with the kind and generous B&B community members providing for the locals in need.”
Besides the Monday Meal dinner, Bread & Broth also helps locals who are struggling with the high cost of living in the community by serving a simple entrée, hot soup, and salad every Friday at the Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church from 4 to 5 p.m. and providing bags of kid-friendly food to eligible children attending the Lake Tahoe Unified School District and childcare centers that serve low-income families.
On a weekly basis, Bread & Broth provides food to an average of 460 vulnerable men, women, and children through our hot meal programs and our kid’s program.
Participating in efforts to alleviate hunger is a noble and fulfilling endeavor. For the volunteers at Forest Suites Resort, it provided an opportunity to support those in need, and Anahi expressed her gratitude, stating that she was “appreciative of the experience.”
