Panera, YUM!


This morning Keith and Beth from Mix 96.7 hosted a live remote at Panera and used the time to encourage customers to bring in non-perishables for us.

Panera generously donated a free coffee and bagel for anyone who brought things in! I was happily suprised by the large amount of items we accumulated. A lot of people just stopped to drop things off and never even asked for the free coffee and bagel. What a great community we have.

The Panera people were cheery as could be and seemed perfectly fine with their store being taken over by people, radio equipment and piles of canned goods . They were so nice.

Unfortunately today was a great day to have a load of donations for the shelter since its full of residents. Kari, the Outreach Case Manager took time out of her schedule to get the donations back to the shelter and take a picture. Nice job Kari!

And of course anywhere Keith and Beth go its a party. There was a lot of laughing and hooting and hollering. Such a fun way to do good works. Thanks everyone!
