Bagel Makers Join The Fight Against Food Insecurity In Bucks

CHALFONT, PA — The Manhattan Bagel stores in Dublin and Chalfont are teaming up with the New Britain Food Pantry this weekend to help combat food insecurity in the community.

For every dozen of its signature, water-boiled bagels sold during the three-day initiative from Saturday through Monday, Manhattan Bagel will donate 10 percent of the proceeds directly to the New Britain Food Pantry. Additionally, every customer will receive a flyer with a QR code to make a direct donation to support the pantry’s efforts.

“Last year, we fed almost 8,500 individuals in our pantry alone," said Cindy Field, Director of the New Britain Food Pantry. "Food insecurity knows no demographic bounds — we serve working families, single parents, senior citizens, college students, and more. Sadly, 75 percent of those we help are senior citizens, often forced to choose between food and medicine.”

The New Britain Food Pantry is teaming up with Manhattan Bagel (Chalfont and Dublin locations only) this weekend to help combat food insecurity in the community.

Bagel shop owners Don and Stephanie invite the community to support the cause by purchasing a dozen bagels at either of their locations in Chalfont and Dublin — or by scanning the QR code to donate directly to the pantry.

“Our community means everything to us,” said Don. “As small business owners, we’re proud to give back and help raise awareness for the growing issue of food insecurity right here in Central Bucks. Together, we can make a real difference.”

Here are the details

• Dates: Saturday, January 18 to Monday, January 20
• Where: Manhattan Bagel, Dublin (The Station in Dublin Town Center) and Manhattan Bagel, Chalfont
• How to Help: Purchase a dozen bagels ($13.99 every day or $9.99 on Saturdays), and 10 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the New Britain Food Pantry. Flyers with a QR code for direct donations will be included in every order.
