Note:
*This recipe for Bananas Foster French Toast uses Nature’s Own Butterbread, which has teamed up with Make-A-Wish to donate $500,000 to support wish kids through 2026. Since 1980, this global nonprofit has granted over 375,000 wishes in the U.S. to children with critical illnesses, providing hope and strength to battle their conditions. These wishes often bring about positive changes and a sense of normalcy to families, impacting communities as a whole.
To celebrate this partnership, the Slice of Hope Campaign was initiated, which includes in-store displays and a digital “Well Wish Wall” where shoppers can leave encouraging messages for the children.
"We feel privileged to collaborate with Make-A-Wish in this valuable two-year initiative, aiming to fulfill life-altering wishes. Our goal is to inspire and spread goodwill, one wish at a time."
Krystle Farlow, senior director of brand management, Nature’s Own
