This morning we had a pancake breakfast at work in an effort to raise money for Makarios in time for the holidays. It's chilly outside and work's getting busier and busier so what better way to warm up and reconnect with coworkers than through Pancakes?
So we set up shop; electric griddle, Pancake batter, butter, syrup, OJ, photo album, donation jar. And with that, the first annual 'Pancakes for Poverty' was held on November 9, 2009. Good food with great community all for a wonderful cause. Can't beat it.
The expectations for this were nonexistent since it was the first one of it's kind. But as always, the Lord completely overwhelmed me by the turnout and the outcome. Almost 30 (of my only 40) coworkers enjoyed Pancakes and we collected over $600.00!! Just typing that number overjoys me. I have no words. Just a big smile on my face and remembering:Trust in Him and He will provide.

Oh man, Allison I totally thought of you and Lauren yesterday! I was talking to someone about 'paaincakes' not even thinking how I say it funny and they didn't know what I was talking about; I had to say it twice then finally force myself to say 'PANcakes' in which they responded "ooohhhhh, pancakes!"
MissyouLoveyou!
Awesome idea! I might have to steal this at some point. Way to go!
Oh my gosh that is wonderful!!! Look at you and your servant's heart!!! That was an amazing act of kindness by you and all of your coworkers!
