IHOP Offering Free Pancakes to Honor National Pancake Day

IHOP will give every person in America a free short stack of pancakes to celebrate National Pancake Day, but to consider helping a few children in the process.

The pancakes are technically free, however IHOP goers are asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other designated local charities, IHOP's website says.

Patch & AOL Send Superstorm Sandy Relief Trucks to Long Island, New Jersey

Employees help out, and you can, also.

It's been said it's far better to have a neighbor who's near, than a brother who's far away, but in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Americans across the nation have proven to be the best neighbors and the strongest of families. This past weekend, AOL and Patch employees took an opportunity to pitch in, packing two tractor trailers worth of food, water and supplies in Dulles, VA, and Baltimore. The donations are headed to Hurricane Sandy ravaged areas in New Jersey and Long Island. Want to join the relief efforts? Click here to donate. "When a catastrophe of this size hits, we all feel it, both the hundreds of us who live in the impacted towns, and our colleagues who are watching and wishing they could help more," said Patch Chief Content …
