Description
The latest episode of BC Food News, hosted by Jennifer English, showcases a community-driven event on COBS Bread known as 'Hot Cross Buns Day', set to take place on February 21st. The event invites musicians to play the classic 'Hot Cross Buns' tune at their bakeries, rewarding each participant with a free Hot Cross Bun. An initiative titled 'Play to Pay' witnessed massive community participation last year, including a vast array of musicians, affirming President Aaron Gillespie's emphasis on encouraging community interaction. Additionally, COBS Bread is simultaneously running a 'Doughnation Day' from February 7th to March 7th, dedicated to raising funds for local causes. The episode puts a strong emphasis on aligning with COBS Bread's mission to be every community's favorite bakery by also contributing their leftovers to local charities. The listeners are urged to visit their local COBS Bakery on the event day and share their participation on social media using the hashtag #HotCrossBunsDay2026.
