Company-wide Change for Children partner organizations

Kids in need foundation

Their Mission: By partnering with teachers and students in under-resourced schools, we provide the support needed for teachers to teach and learners to learn.

Their Vision: We believe every child in America should have equal opportunity and access to a quality education.

Our company has donated our time and funds to give thousands of backpacks stuffed with school supplies to under-resourced children throughout each of the regions we have Panera bakery cafes.

Samaritan’s Purse

Their Mission: Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every year Share the Dough contributes to Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Christmas Child program as well as an international child nutrition program. These programs vary each year based on current international emergencies.
