To the community,

Since 1989, Bread &Broth has been serving free hot dinners to thousands of diners every year. Beginning in 2010, the Adopt A Day of Nourishment program was put into place to encourage individuals, churches, organizations and business to join B&B in providing these needed meals as a service to the community. 

Thanks to the commitment of Vail Resorts and funding from its EpicPromise grant program, Kirkwood Mountain Resort hosts six Adopt A Day dinners annually.  Sponsoring their first AAD of 2018, Kirkwood hosted the Jan. 23 Monday meal and sent Cara Bourne, Shayne Carlson and Reba Mourao from Kirkwood’s ski school team to volunteer alongside the B&B volunteers to pitch in with the dinner service and bring their wonderful people skills to welcome and cheerfully serve the dinner guests.

After packing food giveaway bags and working the serving line, Maurao shared her feelings about the evening’s experience. “It was an enjoyable experience being able to interact with our local community and the volunteers who regularly dedicate their time.  It is heartwarming to see how much food and time is donated to make a filling dinner every Monday and to see the filled ‘take home’ bags.” 

B&B would like to thank Kirkwood for their $300 donation to cover the meal’s food, supplies and utility costs and encouraging their wonderful team members to give of their time and effort to help others is our community.
