Building on our founder’s vision to give back, Auntie Anne’s is committed to serving others. Both corporate headquarters employees and franchisees and crewmembers are actively involved in making a difference in our local communities through an investment of volunteer time and financial resources.

In 2010, Auntie Anne’s formed a national charitable partnership with First Book to help open horizons and make a lasting impact on children. First Book delivers new books to children in need through Title 1 schools, Head Start programs, pre-and-after-school literacy programs, mentoring programs, and various other organizations. Auntie Anne’s is proud to collaborate with First Book as we address the main issue affecting illiteracy, that of access to books.

In addition to First Book, Auntie Anne’s franchisees support the local community through our national partnership with Food Donation Connection. This food donation program enables stores to donate surplus pretzel products through a hunger relief organization, such as a rescue mission or after-school program.

Auntie Anne’s is pleased to work with Food Donation Connection to feed those in need, reduce food waste, and improve employee morale.
