Pass the Bread – October 24

October 13, 2009 · Print This Article

Pass the Bread weaves a stronger community fabric by encouraging people who might not know each other to share conversation and a meal together. Hosts from around Routt County invite 8-12 people to their homes, and conversation that celebrates our community is encouraged.

Pass the Bread is not a fundraising event, but rather an awareness raising event designed to bring people together at different gatherings on the same day.  Volunteer hosts use the sharing of meals as a catalyst for community building among the diverse residents of Routt County. 

The unusual aspect of Pass the Bread is that the invitation list of volunteer hosts includes both friends and community members the hosts have not yet met.

Imagine a get-together where you know one or two other people, but it’s your first chance to meet most of the folks there.  Maybe the get-together is a patio party and only singles have been invited.  Or perhaps it is a potluck where people representing every decade (in age) from the 20’s through the 70’s have been invited.  It might even be a brown-bag lunch in the park.

Most of us agree that what we have in Routt County is unique – a stronger sense of community and connectedness than other places we may have lived.

Life is great here.  Just another reason to buy real estate in Steamboat Springs.
