Rob Katz, Vail Resorts CEO, and his wife, Elana Amsterdam, donated $125,000 to B&B 4 Kids.

In partnership with the South Lake Tahoe Family Resource Center and Vail Resorts, Bread & Broth’s summer program will ensure South Shore youth have access to food each week by handing out a variety of kid-friendly food every Wednesday morning during the summer break at St. Theresa Church Grace Hall.

It will launch June 21 from 9am-noon, the day after Lake Tahoe Unified School District ends the current school year.

For the past two years, the St. Theresa B&B 4 Kids program has been providing LTUSD K-8 students who struggle with hunger, seven meals and four snacks every weekend throughout the school year. The summer program will extend B&B’s efforts.

Employees from Heavenly and Kirkwood mountain resorts will also be involved with the program by volunteering on Wednesdays to help the B&B volunteers at the food give-away events. The summer B&B 4 Kids program will continue until Aug. 23 when the school year resumes.

Any child up to the age of 18 can come alone, or with their parent or guardian. Food will only be given to parents accompanied by their child.
