Panera is Providing Food for Others
I’m sitting at the Panera cafe next to Trader Joe’s in Hollywood. Apparently, 5 months ago they became a non-profit “community cafe.” Everyone pays what they can, and people in need can get fresh baked goods and coffee for free or cheap.
I wish I didn’t need to keep my carbs down or I’d eat here all the time. This is one of 3 Panera locations doing this, according to the staff. And people can volunteer 1 hour of work in exchange for a meal. Go check ‘em out and support this great idea!
