Panera Bread strives to support community programs that reflect our core values and serve as a vehicle for outreach and support. In the Denver, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins metro areas, we are partnered with the Food Bank of the Rockies and Care & Share Food Bank in giving back to our community.
Our Community Partners
FOOD BANK OF THE ROCKIES
FBR was founded in 1978 and was known as the Colorado Food Clearing House. Operating from a 900-square-foot schoolroom in northwest Denver , the fledgling organization collected food from nearby Safeway stores and distributed it to one needy agency.
Today, FBR has extended its reach across northern Colorado, providing food supplies to more than 900 hunger-relief programs. In its first 28 years, FBR has provided nearly 239 million pounds of food to our member agencies, which translates to more than 174 million meals for people in need. Last year, they distributed more than 20.5 million pounds of food, enough to provide 43,000 meals each day to needy children, seniors and families. FBR is a member of America 's Second Harvest - the Nation's Food Bank Network.
COMMUNITY FOOD SHARE
It is estimated that Boulder and Broomfield Counties have over 30,000 residents living below the poverty level, and hunger is a real part of their lives. In response, Community Food Share, as the food bank for all of Boulder and Broomfield Counties, is dedicated to improving lives by turning small acts of generosity and kindness into a big difference in the lives of hungry families in our community. Working through almost 90 partner human service agencies at 155 sites, Community Food Share efficiently delivers more than 3.5 million, nutritionally balanced meals each year, and serves as a “safety net” for those who are hungry in the area. As a part of the America’s Second Harvest food bank network, Community Food Share can provide four meals for each dollar donated.
