Today, we teamed up for a snack bag packing event and successfully packed 75 snack bags to support the final few classes of Mohawk Valley Latino Association (MVLA)'s after-school program!

The amazing Hartford team collaborated with us to supply the food, and together we filled the bags with snacks, beverages, fun activity sheets, and encouraging affirmation cards.

Providing these fueling stations is just one small way we love to show up for our local youth. We are so happy to collaborate with such amazing organizations to keep our community’s kids happy, healthy, and supported!

This Friday, June 5th, the New Hartford Panera Bread is hosting a fundraiser where 25% of net sales from our network will be donated back to our mission.

Whether you utilize the convenience of all-day online ordering with code FUND4U, or join us in-cafe from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM with your digital flyer, your participation helps us hit our minimum goals and keep serving the Mohawk Valley.

Save the flyer, share it with your friends and family, and let's make a lasting impact together!
