Covelli Enterprises' annual support for Toys for Tots reaches $500K

WARREN — Warren-based Covelli Enterprises, Panera Bread’s largest franchisee, is set to partner once again with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation for the month of December, according to a company news release.

The partnership, which has spanned more than 35 years and resulted in more than $500,000 donated, will include a $15,000 donation, a $1,000 toy display at the Elm Road Panera Bread in Warren, and fundraising through the Community Bread Boxes in all Mahoning Valley area Panera Bread bakery-cafes.

This year, however, the company has taken its support to a new level, committing the Community Bread Box canister donations from every single Covelli-owned bakery-cafe across seven states.
