Bizjournals.com:

Dayton-area Panera Bread locations are collecting non-perishable food items for The Foodbank Inc. from Dec. 15 to Dec. 31.

This is the second annual food drive for the eight Dayton-area Panera Bread locations.

Jim Hach, operating partner for the Greater Dayton-area Panera Bread locations, said he hopes the food drive can help people during difficult times.

“We are hoping to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most throughout the Miami Valley area this holiday season,” Hach said in a news release.

Last year, Dayton Panera Bread bakery-cafes collected more than 400 pounds of goods. The goal is to break that number this year.
