Panera Bread is partnering with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to fight childhood hunger.
According to the company, from June 22 through June 26, Panera guests can support the Regional Food Bank's Food for Kids programs by eating at Panera Bread and presenting the donation flyer from regionalfoodbank.org/Panera.
Guests can print and bring the flyer with them, or show it on their mobile device. For every flyer presented to the cashier, Panera Bread will donate 10 percent of proceeds to the Regional Food Bank's Food for Kids programs. Every $200 raised will ensure that a child has enough to eat over the summer – and throughout the school year.
“We had a child come in who told me that he didn't eat anything the day before,” shared a Summer Feeding coordinator. No child should have to go without food. It was huge to provide food to that child so he could have the nourishment he needed.”
Last year, the Regional Food Bank provided the equivalent of 2.7 million meals to chronically hungry children through its Food for Kids childhood hunger programs: the Backpack Program, Kids Cafe, Summer Feeding, and School Pantries.
