COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

We're Passionate About Giving Back

The Pan American team resides in 8 different states, in countless cities and neighborhoods, but we’re all united by our shared passion for serving the communities around us. We believe in taking care of our own, including our Pan American team members and their families, our restaurant guests, and the communities surrounding our Panera bakery cafes.

Caring for Our Own

Taking care of our own is at the heart of our team and core to our culture. That is why in 2015, we started the Family Fund to support our team members and their families when they are faced with unexpected challenges. The Fund is entirely employee-funded, with more than 63% of our team members participating.

These funds are used in a variety of situations including medical bills, financial struggles, and recently in North Carolina where several team members’ homes were flooded or destroyed during Hurricane Matthew.

The FRG Family Fund relies on contributions from our family of employees. We also happily accept donations from the community.
Contributions can be made to the FRG Family Fund by check (payable to FRG Family Fund Inc.), online credit card payment, or through payroll deduction. Payroll donation forms are available in each restaurant. Click to make an online credit card contribution through Network for Good.

ENGAGED IN OUR COMMUNITY

Pan American is proud to partner with many non-profit organizations and initiatives across the country. We’re not just about delivering exceptional dining experiences for our guests; we believe in bettering and serving the communities we serve.

DAY-END DOUGH-NATION

At the end of each day, our bakery-cafes package unsold bread and baked goods to donate to local hunger relief and charitable organizations.
