TYPE OF WORK
Panera welcomes the opportunity to support community events,
fundraisers and other charitable efforts by providing in-kind bakery
products and/or gift certificates when they are able. They have a special
commitment to supporting Iowa schools' educational and fundraising
goals.
Their Community Breadbox program ensures that cash donations from
Panera Bread feed back directly to the community. Each bakery-cafe has
a Community Breadbox collection container at each set of registers,
encouraging customers to donate to a critical non-profit organization in the
community. These cash donations are matched dollar-for-dollar by Panera
Bread of Iowa and donated directly to the organization.
