What an incredible morning for Garrettsville Shop with a Hero!

We want to send a huge thank you to the amazing partners who helped make our pancake breakfast fundraiser such a success.

🥞 AVI Food Systems and the Hiram College team for preparing and supplying 850 pancakes with sausage and eggs on the side for our guests. Your support and hard work made the event possible.

🌲 King Forest Products of Windham, our event sponsor, for helping make the entire morning happen.

🏫 Garfield Schools for allowing us to use the facilities and helping us host such a great community event.

🍁 Windswept Farms for providing the delicious fresh maple syrup that made those pancakes even better.

🍩 Giant Eagle in Ravenna for generously supplying donuts for everyone to enjoy.

Because of the support from our community, we were able to serve 370 people and raise $5,800 for Shop with a Hero. This makes it our biggest pancake breakfast yet!

Every dollar raised helps support Garrettsville Shop with a Hero, bringing children and their families together with police officers, firefighters, and paramedics for a special holiday experience that celebrates community, generosity, and connection.

Thank you to everyone who came out, donated, volunteered, and supported the event. Your support helps make this program possible.
