NOTE:
*This recipe for Bananas Foster French Toast uses Nature’s Own Butterbread, which is collaborating with Make-A-Wish on a significant $500,000 donation to support wish children through 2026.
Since its inception in 1980, the nonprofit has fulfilled over 375,000 wishes for children with critical illnesses in the U.S., providing them with the strength and hope essential for their recovery. These granted wishes can profoundly affect families and the communities around them.
To honor this partnership, the Slice of Hope Campaign was initiated, featuring in-store displays and a digital “Well Wish Wall” where shoppers can share their well wishes for children to read.
“We are truly honored to partner with Make-A-Wish on this meaningful two-year journey, committing to help grant life-changing wishes. Together, we hope to continue to inspire and spread goodness, one wish at a time.”
