Auntie Anne’s CARES

05/11/2026

Hoping all the moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day Yesterday! 💐

Here’s a look at what our Auntie Anne’s C.A.R.E.S. team has been up to and what they were able to do to support our moms out there!

Together, we were able to support 17 mothers by providing essential items to help celebrate them on Mother’s Day and give back for all they do each and every day!

We want to extend a special thank you to Clare House(PA) and Nicholas House, Inc.(Atl) for partnering with us once again as we continue our ongoing efforts to support and uplift our communities! 🌼🥨

The 2026 GoTo Foods Conference is officially wrapped up!

We want to give a huge thank you to all the GoTo Foods associates and all of our incredible franchisees within GoTo Foods for the overwhelming support and success of both our Auntie Anne’s CARES and Alex’s Lemonade booths. 💙🍋

Auntie Anne’s CARES is all about giving back, and we are incredibly thankful to everyone who stopped by to support us by purchasing CARES shirts, jackets, and quarter zips. Seeing a sea of blue throughout the rooms was truly inspiring!

Because of your incredible generosity, we’re able to continue creating a lasting and meaningful impact in our communities year after year. Through your donations and merchandise purchases, we proudly raised over $7,000!

We truly appreciate each and every one of you who supported, donated, and helped us continue the mission of serving and uplifting those around us.

Together, we’re making a difference! 💛

This holiday season, Auntie Anne’s C.A.R.E.S. was honored to partner with incredible organizations across the country to support our communities in meaningful ways. Together, we helped provide gifts, essential items, food, and clothing to approximately 850 families! 💙

We are grateful to have teamed up with:
•Clare House (PA)
•The Giving Kitchen (Atlanta, GA)
•Nicholas House, Inc. (Atlanta, GA)
•Tabitha’s Way (UT)
•Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado (Colorado Springs, CO)
•BEAM(FL)
•Lancaster Recreation Commission(Lancaster, PA)

None of this would have been possible without the generosity, passion, and commitment of our amazing franchisees who continue to lead with heart and give back to the communities they serve.

As the holiday season comes to a close, we’re excited to step into 2026 and explore even more ways to make a positive impact. If you have referrals for organizations in need—or would like to share what you and your team are doing in your community—we’d love to hear from you!

Auntie Anne’s CARES is the pretzel company’s way of giving back through philanthropy, volunteerism, and fundraising—and we are so grateful for their generosity! 💛 Thank you for sponsoring two families through our Single Parent Christmas Gift Program (and hand delivering these gifts!) and for the $500 donation supporting our Senior Christmas Program. Your kindness is bringing extra holiday cheer to our neighbors this season! 🎁✨

This Thanksgiving, Auntie Anne’s C.A.R.E.S. is proud to share that we helped support a total of 541 families across the country! From providing full Thanksgiving meals to offering supplies and gift card donations, our goal was simple—to help put something meaningful on the table for those who needed it most.

We teamed up with incredible partner organizations in Lancaster, PA • Colorado Springs, CO • Utah • Atlanta, GA • and California, making an impact in communities near and far.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Your generosity and dedication continue to show what our C.A.R.E.S. program is all about—community, support, and giving back.

With the holidays right around the corner, we’re already looking forward to more opportunities to help those in need. 🥨💙

Our Auntie Anne’s family continues to show what community truly means.

At this year’s Fall Council Meeting, franchisees committed nearly $60,000 to support the Auntie Anne’s CARES Committee — allowing us to help even more families facing hardship.

Last year, CARES supported 700+ families, and we’re ready to do even more this holiday season.

We are now accepting nominations for Thanksgiving support through November 16, 2025. If someone in our Auntie Anne's Franchise system needs a helping hand, we’re here.

We are so thankful to our Auntie Anne's franchisees, employees, and crewmembers for their generous donations. Because of them, the CARES Committee was able to provide backpacks, school supplies, and lunch boxes to students at Nicholas House in Atlanta, GA and Clare House in Lancaster, PA.

Giving back is what Auntie Anne's was founded upon!
