Hunger Action Month @PaneraBread | Tweet #LiveConsciouslyProject #PaneraAgainstHunger (Sept 1 - 30th) Panera Bread @FeedingAmerica

September is Hunger Action Month! This September, Panera Bread® locations throughout Southern California GO ORANGE to support Feeding America and local food banks by raising funds for the fight against food insecurity. 

PLEASE SHARE THIS: 

• Every time #LiveConsciouslyProject #PaneraAgainstHunger is shared on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (Sept. 1st through Sept. 30th),  Panera will donate a bowl of soup to Feeding America.

• Also, all 74 bakery-cafes in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, Santa Barbara and San Bernardino counties will donate $1 to their local food bank for each guest who registers for the MyPanera® loyalty program (Sept. 1st through Sept. 30th) up to $15,000. 

• Panera Bread customers, who are existing MyPanera members, can contribute by donating funds to their local food bank through in-store Community Breadbox™ cash collection boxes.

"One in six people in America is food insecure, which means that 50 million people don’t know where their next meal is coming from."

GOAL: 50,000 Meals to Local Food Banks

"Hunger Action Month and ‘Go Orange Day’ in September are good reminders that food insecurity is something many people struggle with year round, not just during the holidays,” said Jennifer Errico, Communications Director for Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. “Panera Bread’s commitment to donate $1 for every MyPanera registration is truly impactful and will help provide over 50,000 meals to people struggling with hunger in our communities."

GO ORANGE SEPTEMBER 5TH:

Select Panera Bread bakery-cafes in Southern California will also “Go Orange,” the designated color of Hunger Action Month, on September 5 to raise awareness about those who struggle with hunger locally.

“One in six people in America is food insecure, which means that 50 million people don’t know where their next meal is coming from,” said Stephanie Wren, Panera Bread’s regional marketing manager. “There are simple things we can all do to affect real change during Hunger Action Month. We’re committed to using the resources we have and working with our customers to combat hunger in local communities.”
