Every year, each of our bakery-cafes choose non-profit organizations to become their Community Partners. These partners are given the opportunity to receive monetary funds from collection containers displayed on store counters. All monies collected for each Community Partner are matched by the bakery-cafe. In addition to monetary funds, Community Partners are provided product and gift certificates for certain special events, programs and services throughout the year. Panera Bread of Central Missouri bakery-cafes pride themselves on making this a true partnership, helping Community Partners in any way they can.
