Temporary Donation Policy Change Due to COVID-19

Thank you for your interest in having Panera Bread® to be a part of your organization’s upcoming event. The health, safety, and overall wellbeing of our guests, associates and members of our community is our top priority. In light of recent COVID-19 changes, we will not be accepting new donation requests through our Panera Gives Program at this time. We understand that events are being canceled/rescheduled as well and encourage you to check this page for status updates.

Our ongoing Day-End Dough-Nation® program is still operating in an effort to help feed the hungry and food insecure individuals in our community. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a partner, please reach out your community contact below.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
