Day of Caring Pancake Brunch

Day of Caring is an ongoing effort to feed the hungry and homeless in our community. Our main fund raising event is an annual Pancake Brunch.

The Pancake Brunch, held on the last Sunday in each February, is in fact many brunches held at various locations around the tri-state area. A variety of churches and service organizations host a Pancake Brunch and all proceeds from these Brunches benefit the local community’s Hunger and Housing Coalitions. Financial support comes from various businesses and individuals through either underwriting of a Brunch site’s expenses or in-kind donations.

The intention of the Day of Caring and the Pancake Brunches is to increase awareness of the pressing needs of the hungry and homeless and to support the agencies that provide for them.  

Radio personalities Kim Faris and the B-Man help serve.

Her employees enjoyed the opportunity so much, they have continued to host the site for the last 12 years. I t has been a wonderful place for our employees to volunteer, as well as take our children to show them how fortunate they are, and how to give back to the community.
