Panera Bread strives to support community programs that reflect our core values. From children to education to families and health. We have partnered with several local agencies (one per market) who help our communities survive, grow and enjoy life!
In every Panera Bread bakery-cafe you’ll see a donation box at our cafe and bakery registers. We match our customers’ donations, dollar for dollar and give the sum to our Operation Dough-Nation® partner, a local non-profit agency. Through this program we also donate bakery products, gift certificates and gift baskets to fundraising events sponsored by non-profit agencies like schools, YMCA’s, Junior Achievement, hospices, museums, arts councils and more.
