Panera Bread Cafés
Our friends at Covelli Enterprises believe in positively impacting communities including those who bravely serve our nation. Throughout November and December when you dine at any Ohio Panera Bread café, we invite you to give back to Veterans and their families to ensure their stories live on.
Your year-end gift to the National Veterans Memorial and Museum honors our Veterans and shares their stories of sacrifice and service. And now, your 100% tax-deductible donation can be doubled thanks to a $25,000 Veterans Honor Match made possible by Greif. This means your gift will go twice as far to sustain the museum, offer unfettered access for all U.S. Military Veterans and Gold Star Families, and educate people of all ages about the meaning of service.
