Bruegger's Supports Operation Homefront With Red, White and Blue Bagels During 4th of July Weekend

Portion of national weekend bagel sales will benefit Operation Homefront to support families of deployed military personnel

What: Bruegger's celebrates Independence Day Weekend with a special Red, White and Blue bagel to honor the military troops who have fought to preserve our freedom since 1776. Bruegger's bakeries across the country will donate a portion of Red, White & Blue bagel sales to Operation Homefront.

With a motto of "Supporting U.S. troops by helping the families they left behind," Operation Homefront was created in the aftermath of September 11 to channel volunteer support to help families of deployed military personnel. With hundreds of thousands of service members deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq and numerous others around the world fighting the war on terrorism, thousands of spouses and children are left behind. Operation Homefront addresses needs such as providing families computers with Internet access to communicate with loved ones, deployed troop care packages, volunteers for home repairs, education and training workshops and assistance awareness programs.

Where: Participating Bruegger's bakeries nationwide.

When: Independence Day Weekend - Saturday July 2 through Monday July 4
