Local Hamra Panera Donates to Lake Zurich Dispatch Center

Hamra Enterprises, owner of nine Panera Bread Cafes in Lake County, is showing their appreciation for the people who spend each day protecting our community behind the scenes. Every year, Hamra donates over $800,000 worth of leftover product to charities throughout the Chicago-land area, and during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 13-19), they brought breakfast to three dispatch centers in Illinois, serving the employees coffee, juice and bagels as a ‘thank you’ for allowing Panera Bread customers in Lake County to feel safe and at home in their cafés.
