In addition, Panera will be participating in a cereal drive to benefit the Northern Illinois Food Bank, Greater Chicago Food Depository, and Northwest Indiana Food Bank. From September 18 - 20, bring in a box of cereal (12 ounces or more) to Panera and receive a coupon for a free breakfast sandwich. One coupon per donation, regardless of the number of boxes donated.
