Giving Brings Joy to All! Our team in Grand Haven, Michigan has been busy preparing for their Christmas Family! The Panera Cafe’s family was staying at a local shelter. They were incredibly grateful for all that was given to them. And to top it all off, the father received news he would be going back to work in just a few days!... Thank you for this outreach! It was a ray of sunshine amidst the darkness of the year, Curtis the cafe’s General Manager commented. We are so thankful to hear that the ones giving the gifts are just as blessed as the ones receiving! So many stories like this are being sent to us. We can’t wait to share more!

Christmas Outreach Our Panera elves are all busy shopping and wrapping as we are in the middle of our annual Share the Dough Christmas Family Outreach! Team Liberty Station is spreading the joy as they wrap their gifts.... We are so overwhelmed as we read the stories and see the pictures our teams are sending in. We can’t wait to share more with you in the coming days. Tis the Season to give!

Our Change for Children funds were recently used to bless a very deserving child with a surprise trip to all the theme parks in Orlando, Florida! Scarlett was born micro premature at 29 weeks and endured many surgeries and health complications since. We love to see that she is now thriving and healthy and will get to enjoy a trip of a life time creating lasting memories with her family! Thank you to our Change for Children partners Baking Memories 4 Kids and @radychildrens for partnering with us in making this trip happen for Scarlett and her family! Thank you also to the Manna Development Group - Franchisee of Panera Bread cashiers and guests who have committed to our Change for Children program! It is because of your efforts that this trip is possible.

Celebrating our Greeley, CO team today and especially the GM, Stephanie Lopez. She is passionate about Share the Dough and Change for Children. Her café has consistently led Change for Children results in the Colorado market under her leadership, with different associates leading the way, really emphasizing that the entire team contributes to the execution of this program. They recently had a cashier, Hannah, who brought in $140 in round up donations in a week!! Stephanie and her team inspire others in the market with their excitement about all Share the Dough is doing through Change for Children. Thank you Stephanie and team!!
