Summer is one of the worst times for food bank donations, but one of the highest periods of demand. Kids that would normally get free or reduced lunch are out of school and many families that would normally donate are out of town during the summer.
Panera Bread is trying to help with a cereal drive all day Friday. Bring in a 12-ounce or larger unopened box of cereal to any of the 15 locations in North Texas, including the store at Park and Central Expressway, and get a coupon for a free breakfast sandwich.
The cereal will be donated to the North Texas and Tarrant Area food banks. The North Texas Food Bank helps supply community food pantries across 13 counties, including the Dallas council of the Society St Vincent De Paul and North Dallas Shared Ministries in Preston Hollow.
