Day of Caring
35th Annual Day of Caring Pancake Brunches This Sunday
From the first pancake brunch with 12 locations this event has grown to locations in over 7 counties. As in the past, churches, community organizations, and public foundations host, prepare, and serve the annual pancake brunch. “Each year, 500 volunteers get together to serve over 7,000 meals,” Day of Caring 365 Trustee Steve Pax said in a news release. “Those who are homeless or hungry find a generous support from our community during Thanksgiving and Christmas, however The Day of Caring Pancake Brunch takes the last Sunday in February to remind the needy that we don’t forget about them. We show that we care 365 days a year.” In 2012 the Simply Essential Hygiene Pantry was created and it currently serve 19 partner agencies in Greene, Miami, and Montgomery Counties in Ohio.
Brunches run on average $7 for adults and $5 for seniors (over 60) and children (under 12). Most brunches include pancakes and sausages, coffee and juice, but each location put their own spin on additional offerings.

Day Of Caring Creates Pancake Brunches All Over Town
Established in 1991 by Jan Venkayya, Day of Caring is a grass roots organization based in Beavercreek, made up of volunteers committed to increasing personal awareness and involvement toward confronting the ever-increasing national plight of hunger and homelessness.
From the first pancake brunch with 12 locations to over 40 locations in 2012, Day of Caring is continually growing. As in the past, churches, community organizations, and public foundations host, prepare, and serve the annual pancake brunch.
Not only have the number of brunch locations increased but the number of cities, towns, and counties have also grown. In 2014, there are brunches scheduled in Clinton, Greene, Miami, Hamilton and Montgomery counties as well as the City of Dayton. They’ve also reached beyond our local boundaries to sites in Cinicinnati and Richmond Indiana. Brunches run on average $6 per person.

Day of Caring is more than just a one-day fundraising event; Day of Caring is first and foremost, designed to create personal awareness. By making people aware of the needs in their community, individuals can come together as one and help. We create opportunities for people to get involved.
In philosophy, Day of Caring is similar to Thanksgiving, where one day a year we come together as a nation to give thanks for our good fortune. Likewise, Day of Caring, through its ever increasing number of volunteers, sets aside one day – the last Sunday in February – where we, the community, can come together to help our less fortunate neighbors.
A new addition to the brunch includes the forming of a personal hygiene pantry which will include items that cannot be purchased with food stamps and are often difficult for those in need to get.
Suggested items to donate include:
| Shampoo | Deodorant | Dental hygiene products | Razors |
| Feminine hygiene products | Baby wipes | Shaving cream | Body soap |
| Hair brushes/Combs | Band-aids | Diapers | Toilet paper |
| Dishwashing liquid | Laundry detergent |

Most sites will serve pancakes, sausage and orange juice, but there are also Indian Brunches serving chicken curry, vegetables, rice, nan, dal and raita and Middle Eastern Brunch featuring falafel, spinach and cheese pies, hummus and tabbouli salad. Below is a list of area brunches.

Pancakes for A Cause
Join thousands of people in the Dayton area for a pancake brunch to celebrate the 21st annual Day of Caring on Sunday, February 27th. For just $6, $4 for seniors and children you’ll get pancakes and sausage. Some locations have expanded the menu and some also offer Indian Food like chicken curry, vegetables, rice and nan. Created by Jan Venkayya in 1991 as a day to bring awareness to local hunger and homelessness, this event continues to grow. The grass roots organization, which started out with 12 locations in Montgomery County, has grown and this year includes 47 sites, including Cincinnati and Richmond, Indiana.
Funds raised from the local brunches go to help local homeless and housing coalitions. Day of Caring has received approximately $1 million of in-kind donations from area corporations and individuals. Besides raising awareness and funds for the hungry, another goal of the organizations is to encourage volunteerism and teach individuals to participate and see the difference they can make.
The Day of Caring Symbol signifies founder Venkayya’s expectations for the event. The outer circle represents the continuing act of caring and the world in which we all exist. The solid circle represents a single act of caring, and, as a single drop of water falls onto a pool of water creating ripples (represented by the 3 partial concentric circles), so does the single act of caring have a continuous effect on those who benefit from its action.
