Panera West Hartford Delivers Holiday Drive Gifts Release

WEST HARTFORD — A holiday gift drive at West Hartford's Panera Bread has made the holidays brighter for families served by The Bridge Family Center in West Hartford. More than 30 presents were collected from Panera customers and employees. Customers have participated in the holiday gift drive by simply going to the counter at their local Panera, selecting a gift tag with a specific child's first name on it, and then purchasing the "wish list" items noted.  The Bridge Family Center is a comprehensive, nonprofit agency offering a range of services to children, youth and families in the Greater Hartford area, with particular attention to those at risk.  For more information, please call (860) 521-8035.
