THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the 13th Annual Bread 'N' Boards event on December 1st!
It is another great year of helping the hungry in our community. With a few boards still available to purchase at the
Food Bank for Larimer County, the nearly-final tally for money raised is
$33,723. And most of that money was raised
in just three hours! 100 percent of the net proceeds will benefit the Food Bank and will provide over 145,000 meals.
Since 2005, Bread 'N' Boards has raised $329,358 for the Food Bank.
Thanks to the folks at
Great Western Bank who did their part to ensure a successful outcome of the event. They came with carts and left with MANY beautiful boards!
A big THANK YOU to our steadfast sponsors! Fort Collins
Great Harvest Bread Co. contributed the yummy bread samples and the certificates for free bread that went home with every board.
New Belgium Brewery created and donated the fun tea towels available for purchase at the event.
Many thanks to everyone who donated one or more of the 74 Signature Boards and specialty items for the Signature Board Silent Auction. Your caring and craftsmanship are invaluable gifts that help make Bread ’N’ Boards the great success it is each year.
