Since Panera Bread was founded, the company and its franchisees have been active participants in the communities in which it does business.  As part of Panera’s broader national Operation Dough-Nation program, which was created in 1992 to formalize Panera’s commitment to community involvement, the new location will join the New Jersey community in giving back through its local Day-End Dough-Nation and Community Breadbox. Panera is is seeking 501c3 organizations and food banks to donate breads to at the end of each night. 

Submit any inquiries to Angie.Greene-Hicks@panerabread.com.  Collectively, Panera bakery-cafes across the United States and Canada have  donated more than $50 million worth of unsold bread and baked goods in 2010 to help people in need.
