Einstein Bros. Bagels Partners with Freestore Foodbank to Give Back in Cincinnati
Bagel Brand Celebrates Five New Store Openings, Giving Back to Families In Need
Denver, CO (December 5, 2025) — Einstein Bros. Bagels celebrates its five new Cincinnati bakeries this holiday season by giving back to the Cincinnati community through a partnership with Freestore Foodbank. On December 15, 2025, from 8 AM to 12 PM, the brand’s new Cincinnati locations will host a community-focused initiative designed to support families and individuals in need during the holidays.
Customers are invited to join Einstein Bros. in celebrating the season of giving by donating $5, enough for the Freestore Foodbank to provide up to 15 meals, in exchange for a free egg sandwich or bagel & shmear. Every contribution helps make a meaningful impact in the Cincinnati community during this time of need.
"We’re proud to celebrate our Cincinnati openings by giving back to the community that has welcomed us so warmly," said Adam Modzel, Chief Operating Officer at Einstein Bros. Bagels. "Partnering with Freestore Foodbank allows us the opportunity to make a difference and help provide meals to those who need them most."
For over 54 years, Freestore Foodbank has served Greater Cincinnati, providing food, clothing, and essential household items to thousands of local families. Their mission is to create a hunger-free, healthy, and thriving community.
"Freestore Foodbank is thrilled to collaborate with Einstein Bros. Bagels on this initiative," said Jonathan Mann, Corporate Partnerships Officer at Freestore Foodbank. "Community partnerships like this allow us to reach more families and provide vital support during the holidays, especially as demand continues increasing."
In addition to this holiday initiative, Einstein Bros. Bagels is committed to ongoing support for Cincinnati families by donating unsold bagels from its local stores to Freestore Foodbank. This initiative ensures that fresh, wholesome food continues to reach those in need throughout the year.
