Harrah’s/Harveys’ HERO members who volunteered at Bread & Broth’s dinner on October 21 came prepared to work hard, and that they did. They made sure the evening’s diners were warmly welcomed, served heaping portions of baked penne pasta, Caesar salad and sautéed zucchini, and given ‘food giveaway’ bags and ‘leftover to go’ before they left.

Tahoe is a glorious place. Most of us come here to live in its beauty, but it’s the “community” that keeps so many of us here. It’s that sense of doing good for one another that keeps many of us hopeful about the future. I’m happily involved in different aspects of our community and that part of my life is why I feel so grateful and blessed. Tuesday’s Drug Store Project for our sixth-grade youth was a testament to the compassion and dedication of our agencies, businesses, service clubs, and community members for the good of its people.

Bread & Broth volunteers always enjoy the Monday Meals sponsored by the Harrah’s/ Harveys’ HEROs. This employee based organization sponsors two Adopt A Day of Nourishment dinners annually and always sends a superb team of HEROs crew members to help volunteer at their sponsorship dinner held at St. Theresa Grace Hall. On October 29, the HEROs were represented by Jeff Colameco, Patrick Frega and Darlene Winkelman, who are seasoned AAD sponsor crew members, and Jenny Haas and Veronica Vilaseca, who enjoyed their first time serving at a B&B dinner.

If you had walked onto the LTCC campus on Tuesday, April 3, you would have never guessed that there were 325 6th grade youth and 220 agency and volunteer workers throughout the corridors, all learning information on how and why to keep themselves safe from drugs. “Choices, what are yours?” was the theme of our efforts in keeping our youth drug free. With the country’s attitudes and norms about drug use changing, times are even more difficult for our kids.

HEROs, the employee organization at Harrah’s/Harveys’ Casino Resorts, hosted Bread & Broth’s Monday Meal on October 30 through their sponsorship of an ‘Adopt A Day of Nourishment’. B&B’s Adopt A Day program provides individuals, businesses and organizations the opportunity to participate in hosting a hot and filling meal which provides nourishment and a welcoming and safe environment to any community member who attends a Monday Meal at St. Theresa Grace Hall.

Serving their first of two Bread & Broth “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” sponsorships for the year, the HEROs employee organization from Harrah’s and Harveys’ casinos hosted the Monday Meal served at St. Theresa Grace Hall on April 17. Having the HEROs sponsor a B&B dinner is always a treat. Wearing their bright red HEROs t-shirts, the HEROs sponsor crew always shows up ready to help and bring smiles to the faces of the dinner guests.

Dear Community,

Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless (TCH) would like to thank Caesar’s Foundation and Harrah’s & Harvey’s Lake Tahoe for their support. In September the Caesar’s Foundation awarded TCH with a $10,000 grant to operate the South Lake Tahoe Warm Room. These funds will help provide overnight refuge from the elements to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the winter months. Additionally, the Harrah’s Employees Reaching Out (HEROs) were very helpful in our pilot season by providing volunteers and donating supplies.

Bread & Broth would like to thank the employee volunteers of Harrah's and Harvey's who adopted a day of nourishment at the non-profit's weekly Monday evening dinner on March 28.

“We love helping with the great folks at Bread and Broth,” commented volunteer Jacalyn Andrews. “It warms your heart to be involved with serving a hot meal.”

Jacalyn is a Game Supervisor at Caesars’ Stateline casinos and she and her fellow HEROs volunteer crew members had a great time at the Harrah’s/Harvey’s HEROs Adopt A Day dinner.

The HEROs from Harrah’s and Harveys’ Casino Resorts lived up to their name and mission by hosting a Bread & Broth dinner on October 26th. HEROs, a Caesar Entertainment employee organization, is committed to having members volunteer at charitable causes and give back to their community. Through their generosity, they are heroes to those who benefit from their support and concern.

Three former football players joined the local Rotary clubs for breakfast on Thursday morning, sharing their honest feelings on many subjects from family to Johnny Manziel.
