Update:  It’s today, folks!  Gather up all those unexpired, unopened, full-size cereal boxes.  You know, the ones you stocked up on because your kids loved them when you were paying retail, but now act like it’s Chores in a Box you’re pushing.

I think I mentioned this earlier, but the date is now rapidly approaching:
Help fight hunger and get a FREE Grilled Breakfast Sandwich during the 2010 Panera Bread Cereal Drive, Sept. 17 to 19.
Please join us for the 2010 Panera Bread Cereal Drive to help fight hunger in our community. Bring one box of cereal to any participating Panera Bread bakery-cafe in Chicagoland and receive a coupon for a FREE Grilled Breakfast Sandwich.
One coupon per cereal box donation. Donation must be in the form of an unopened cereal box of a minimum 12-ounce size that has not reached its expiration date.

Well, hell’s bells!  Who among us doesn’t have boxes of free cereal?  I’ve read on some sites that certain (maybe all?) Panera locations will have free coffee and samples on Friday morning for those dropping off cereals.

and remember, free food is good food.
