An Active Community Partner
Since Panera Bread was founded, the company and its franchisees
have been active participants in the communities in which it does business.
This new location will join Chicagoland in giving back through its local
Day-End Dough-Nation™ and Community Breadbox™ programs.
As part of the local Community Breadbox program, all donations
made by customers in the Algonquin bakery-cafe will benefit Make-A-Wish®
Illinois, a charity that helps grant the wishes of children with life
threatening medical conditions. For the past four years over 30 local
bakery-cafes joined the community in contributing over $400,000 to Make-A-Wish®
Illinois to grant 70 wishes.
At the end of each day, Panera Bread also donates all unsold bread
and baked goods to local area hunger relief agencies as part of its local
Day-End Dough-Nation program.
Collectively, Panera bakery-cafes donated over $100 million worth of
unsold bread and baked goods in 2012 to help people in need.
