Because we believe that the universal spirit of bread is sharing, we're committed to the communities we live in and serve. We show our appreciation for customers not only within our bakery-cafes but also by sponsoring special events, participating in charitable programs, and donating fresh, wholesome food - that might otherwise be discarded - to places where the hungry are fed daily.
In this section, you can learn more about neighborhood and cultural events sponsored by Panera Bread and our partnership with Special Olympics Massachusetts.
With the generous help of our customers in Massachusetts, Panera Bread
donated more than $25,000 to Special Olympics in 2003 to 2004, and thousands
of dollars in product to numerous non-profit organizations.
To learn more about the contributions Panera Bread makes in communities throughout
the country through its Operation Dough-Nation®, Dough For Funds®,
