Get cash for your school! Since its inception in 2011, Loaves 4 Learning has helped schools throughout our Midwest distribution area earn cash for the things they need.
Each UPC from Country Hearth and Village Hearth products are worth 5 cents, allowing schools to receive up to $10,000 each school year. Support your school and start saving product UPCs today!
Enrollment is open to accredited K-12 public, private or parochial schools that have a tax-exempt status and are within our Midwest distribution area. School coordinators must submit an enrollment form to get your school started.
Once enrolled, start saving UPCs and drop them off in your school’s collection box. Volunteers will attach them to collection sheets and send them in with a redemption form. Checks are mailed throughout the school year.
Doing our part in the fight against hunger. We don’t believe in wasting food. Over 96 percent of food used as ingredients in our products and our products themselves are recycled.
As a supporting sponsor of Second Harvest Heartland (the Upper Midwest’s largest hunger-relief organization), each year we donate over 1 million loaves of bread and other bread products.
What happens when our bread products are getting close to their “fresh by” date? Local food shelves are offered all that they are able to use, and whatever is not fed to people is used for animal feed.
Pan-O-Gold Baking Company, bakers of Country Hearth and Village Hearth bread products, donate over 8 million loaves to Midwest food shelves. Second Harvest Heartland produced a video to thank them.
We are committed to helping the community achieve its renewable energy goal by being on of 40 large, St. Cloud area businesses and organizations to pledge to the 5% CHALLENGE.
Our sustainability mission is to move forward while responsibly managing our shared resources to ensure a sustainable future.
