Doughnation Day Q&A

Our second annual Doughnation Day is back on April 2, and we’re fundraising for great causes around the nation. Being a hero for your community takes strength, courage and complete selflessness. Or, you know, simply grabbing a 6-pack of hot cross buns.

Q: What is Doughnation Day?

On Saturday, April 2, COBS Bread will donate $2 from every 6-pack of hot cross buns sold to support local charities in your community.

Q: How can I help donate to my local charity?

A: Simply pick up a 6-pack of hot cross buns in bakery on April 2 OR tap your card to donate in bakery. All donations will go back to the same local charity.

Q: What flavors of hot cross buns do you sell?

We sell four delicious flavors; Traditional Fruit, Cranberry Orange, Apple Cinnamon and Triple Chocolate Chip.

Q: I don’t like hot cross buns, can I still help and donate?

A: Yes! You can add a donation at the point of purchase, to the bakery’s local community charity, at your local COBS Bread Bakery. You can do this anytime you’re in one of our bakeries.

Q. I can’t make it into a bakery, how can I help donate?

A: Can’t join us on Doughnation Day (or can’t wait)? You can donate to your bakery’s local charity online today. Plus, COBS Bread will be matching all online donations made up to $10,000!

Q. Where can I find my nearest COBS Bread?

A: You can find one of our 140+ bakeries by typing in your location here. Offering traditional sandwich breads, artisanal loaves and smart indulgences, COBS Bread focuses on helping you bring high quality, healthy and delicious baked goods into your home.

Q: What happens to all your bread products at the end of the day?

A: We bake all of our products fresh every day and then we give fresh every night, so every bread (and treat) finds a home. At the end of every day, our bakeries donate the unsold goods to local charitable programs. Dedicated volunteers then visit our bakeries to pick up the unsold bread and baked goods which they distribute to local charities. With daily needs for food in every city, and growing food waste concerns, each of our locations proudly donates their unsold products.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear Crumbs.

Giving back to your community on Doughnation Day is another reason to love COBS Bread hot cross buns.
