SEATTLE — Panera Bread is joining the efforts of Take Back Your Time Day, an event where people are supposed to take a break and enjoy their relationships.
 
According to a news release, the campaign calls for Americans and Canadians to "get back to the table" Oct. 24 and improve family and civic relationships. The U.S.-Canadian initiative challenges the epidemic of overwork, over-scheduling and time famine that threatens health, families and relationships, communities and environment.
 
"Due to increasing time pressures and a fast, stressed-out pace of life, Americans are neglecting relationships — not taking enough time for family, friends, community and civic engagement," said John de Graaf, Take Back Your Time national coordinator. "So this year for Take Back Your Time Day we are reminding people about the joys and benefits of gathering around the table — from the dining room table to the card table to the picnic table, the ping pong table and the restaurant table." Panera Bread will be launching ReclaimDinnerTime.com Oct. 18. The Reclaim Dinnertime site will offer additional tools and strategies for getting families back to the table.
