Change for Children, the customer-facing donation program of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Share the Dough, operates from the Shaw Financial Building at 2211 Encinitas Boulevard in Encinitas's New Encinitas corridor east of Interstate 5. The program raises funds for children experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, illness, and abuse by enabling customers to round up their checks at participating Panera Bread bakery-cafes, directing micro-donations to the same regional network of child-serving agencies supported by the Community Resource Center on Second Street. Grant distributions flow to organizations combating childhood hunger through after-school and weekend meal programs, to children's hospitals providing holistic care, and to rescue missions supporting families in crisis. Share the Dough also funds employee-assistance programs for its parent operator's restaurant workforce, including emergency financial relief and educational scholarships — a staff-welfare model that reinforces the North County food-service labor ecosystem where Healthy Creations Cafe and other South Coast Highway 101 operators draw from the same entry-level and mid-career talent pool. Share the Dough holds 501(c)(3) status under EIN 81-1608170 and distributes funds through a grant committee evaluating recipient organizations on direct-impact metrics for children in food insecurity, medical crisis, and shelter-transition programs.
