Panera Bread strives to support community programs that reflect our core values and serve as a vehicle for outreach and support. In the southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin areas, we are partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs and Junior Achievement in giving back to our community.
About Boys & Girls Clubs
Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow, all while having
fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids.
The Boys & Girls Club Provides:
• A safe place to learn and grow
• Relationships with caring, adult professionals
• Life-enhancing programs and character development
experiences
• Hope and opportunity
A Safe Place for Kids
Club staff, facilities, programs, and age-appropriate settings create
stability, consistency, and a sense of physical and emotional safety for
members. Having a safe place to go on a daily basis is a key element for
youth development.

have doughnation partnerships with Boys & Girls Clubs.
About Junior Achievement
JA Worldwide is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating
students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy
through experiential, hands-on programs.
Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.
JA’s unique approach allows volunteers from the community to deliver
our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. Embodying
the heart of JA, our 287,000 classroom volunteers transform the key concepts
of our lessons into a message that inspires and empowers students to believe
in themselves, showing them they can make a difference in the world.
Panera Bread Bakery Café`s in Onalaska, WI and Mankato, MN have
doughnation partnerships with Junior Achievement.
Panera Bread of southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin are committed to supporting these organizations. Every bakery café matches “dollar for dollar”, the in store contributions of our guests by way of donation containers. The next time you’re in one of our cafes, we encourage you to make a contribution to this worthy cause.
For more information on becoming involved with these organizations, please check the brochure rack at your local Panera Bread Bakery Café.
