Connections Cooking for a Cause
Connections UnitingCare Celebrates Pancake Day
Connections UnitingCare will host a morning tea in Mount Waverley on Tuesday 16 February to celebrate National Pancake Day, with all money raised going to the UnitingCare SHARE Community Appeal supporting people in need.
Staff and supporters will cook pancakes for the local community and neighbouring businesses for a gold coin donation at Connections' Head Office at 31 Hardner Road and a number of other sites across Melbourne.
Pancake Day, an initiative of the UnitingCare, has sold more than 1.5 million pancakes since its inception in 2002, raising vital funds for the 1.8 million Australians UnitingCare agencies assist each year.
Connections, one of the largest UnitingCare agency in Victoria is a proud participant in Pancake Day. Connections Chief Executive Officer Ms Angela Forbes believes this event raises both awareness and much needed funds.
'Pancake Day raises awareness about the social issues being faced within our community while also supporting people in need by raising funds. It is not just a morning tea, but rather an event that brings people together, highlights important work in the community and enables people to make a connection in their local community,' says Ms Forbes.
Connections' is an organisation that bases its way of working around social connectedness. Events like Pancake Day bring people together and reinforce the importance of caring for people in need.
'This year will be our biggest Pancake Day yet, and we hope that the local community and businesses will get involved on the 16th or host their own event in February,' said Ms Forbes.
This year, Connections is encouraging schools, workplaces, churches and clubs to host their own Pancake Day event on the 16th or on any other day in February.
