April is Autism Awareness Month and Covelli Enterprises is partnering with Potential Development to sell "Blooms of Hope for Autism" cookies for one week in April.

From Monday, April 7 until Sunday, April 13, all Panera Bread locations operated by Covelli Enterprises in the Mahoning Valley will donate $1 from all shortbread tulip cookies sold to Potential Development.

Covelli Enterprises has donated more than $2.27 million in the areas it serves to support various Autism organizations, schools and centers in providing services, scholarships, treatment, advocacy and resources for families.

In addition Potential Development will benefit from Covelli Enterprises' Operation Dough-Nation program, which allows customers to make monetary donations in boxes located at the registers in Covelli's Panera Bread locations all throughout April.

You can purchase the tulip cookies at any seven participating Panera Bread locations in the Valley or online.
