SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – On Monday, May 4, Caesars Republic/Harrah’s HEROs hosted the second of their three 2026 Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD) sponsorships. Since 2014, employee members of the HEROs organization from the two casinos have supported Bread & Broth’s Monday Meal program. In addition to donating the $350 AAD sponsorship fee, the HEROs always send outstanding HEROs organization members to help the Bread & Broth volunteers with their sponsorship meal’s setup, serving, and breakdown/cleanup.

Krysteena Palaroan of Casino Human Resources said the HEROs’ AAD sponsorships is “our way of giving back to the heart of Lake Tahoe and those who call it home.” Krysteena added, “Bread & Broth represents more than service; it represents community. We cherish the opportunity to provide a meal, engage in meaningful conversations, and witness the impact of our service through smiles and full bellies.”

Joining Krysteena were fellow HEROs members Rigoberto Duque, Count Room Manager; Philip Griffith, Brew Brothers Chef; Raquel Rando, Casino Pit Supervisor; Janeen White, Player Development; and Darlene Winkelman, Casino Operations Manager.

It was a busy evening for both the HEROs sponsor team and the Bread & Broth volunteers. Together, they packed 100 bags of fresh fruit and vegetables for guests to take home and enjoy later in the week. HEROs team also served a comforting meal of Sloppy Joes with cheese, onion rings, coleslaw, and fruit salad to 123 dinner guests. Of those guests, 23 returned for second servings. Manning the serving line gives the AAD sponsors a chance to chat with guests, sharing warm and lively conversations.

The HEROs team members are deeply appreciated by both Bread & Broth volunteers and dinner guests for their enthusiasm, warmth, and willingness to help. Beyond this meal, the HEROs’ organization supports many efforts that strengthen the South Shore Lake Tahoe community. That ongoing commitment makes HEROs an important part of how Caesars Republic/Harrah’s serves its neighbors.

Thank you to Caesars Republic/Harrah’s HEROs for their continued support of our free meal service and food giveaway program. Bread & Broth looks forward to their next sponsorship on October 26th.
