In an industry that is focused on excellent customer service, the representatives from Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe brought their expertise and enthusiasm to hosting Bread & Broth’s Monday Meal on September 22. 

Arriving at 3 p.m., Kelly Crossgrove, Linda Hunt, and Debby Puettman joined the Bread & Broth (B&B) volunteers to prepare for the late-afternoon dinner, which included setting up the dinner utensils and packing the food giveaway bags, distributed as an extra benefit to the dinner guests.

At 4 p.m., once the St. Theresa Grace Hall doors opened, the Golden Nugget Adopt A Day of Nourishment sponsorship crew took their places on the serving line and served the 135 dinner guests a hearty meal featuring pork chops, roasted broccoli, rolls and a tossed salad.  With their serving trays filled, the guests proceeded to the drink and dessert table filled with a wide variety of tasty treats to complete their dining experience. 

Beyond the full-course dinner, the guests enjoyed a welcoming atmosphere, warm smiles from the volunteers, and a safe place to enjoy their meal and their fellow dinner guests.  As a special treat, Mickey Holiday provided Sinatra-themed music. Mickey is a local entertainer who donates his time and talents once a month to add to the enjoyment of both guests and volunteers.

Bread & Broth deeply appreciates the continued support of Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe.  In addition to their annual Adopt A Day of Nourishment sponsorship, Golden Nugget contributes annually by donating rolls for B&B’s Thanksgiving Meal, hosting food drives,  and supporting other B&B special events.

Kelly Crossgrove, Golden Nugget’s director of human resources, expressed gratitude for being part of such a meaningful cause, stating, “It is so nice to see the community come together and provide much-needed nutritious food to community members.”   Debby also added that “we are grateful to be a part of such a great cause.”
