When Panera Bread Unveils New Fall Flavors, Table to Table Benefits

September 2009 – Continuing its longtime support of Table to Table, on September 10, Panera Bread locations in Northern and Central New Jersey will unveil new fall menu items with delicious samples throughout the day – and donate 20% of sales of bread and (dozen or more) bagel purchases that day to support Table to Table’s food rescue mission. Seven Panera locations are participating: Route 4 W in Paramus; Paramus Park Mall; Tices Corner – Woodcliff Lake; Edgewater; East Rutherford; Northvale; and Fairlawn.

“This is a great opportunity to sample some of Panera’s fabulous fall flavors while also supporting the work of Table to Table,” said Ilene Isaacs, Executive Director. Panera’s new menu items include BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad, Napa Almond Chicken Sandwich, a delicious and high fiber Power Breakfast Sandwich, and a new Macadamia Nut Blondie.

Table to Table is the only dedicated food rescue program in northeast New Jersey. Every day, the hunger relief agency collects fully cooked entrees, fresh produce and meats, dairy products and other perishables that would normally be discarded, and safely delivers them, free of charge, to soup kitchens, homeless shelters and other social service agencies in Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties. Table to Table receives no government funding and, instead, relies solely on support from private and corporate donations. Numerous northern New Jersey individuals, businesses and organizations contribute to Table to Table’s success.
