Cookies for kids

REGION- — Looking to make a sweet gesture to a local non-profit? The 14 Panera Bread/HBG bakery-cafes in Connecticut are currently conducting a “Cookies for Kids!” campaign until Valentine’s Day, Thursday, Feb. 14, where 10 percent of the proceeds from every freshly baked Valentine cookie sold will go directly to a local charity, Channel 3 Kids Camp in Andover. The decorated shortbread cookies feature three different versions of conversation hearts that say “Love You”, “XOXO” and “Be Mine." Locally, Panera Bread locations participating in this fundraiser include stores in Manchester, Enfield and Glastonbury.
