Charleston is Hungry for Pancakes and Transit Equity.

 

Charleston is Hungry for Pancakes and Transit Equity.

Help us fill the flattop Saturday and get Rosa's Featherlight Pancakes out to the people. 

Due to the big response to our plans to offer Rose Parks Pancakes to the community on Saturday, Feb. 4 in honor of her birthday, the cost of the effort has grown beyond what we have in the bank to support transit efforts here.

We're asking our supporters if they can donate items so we can keep those pancakes coming Saturday and possibly at a community racial justice event being planned for Sunday afternoon where we may do pancakes on the spot with camp stoves in a partnership effort with other organizations. Anything left over will be donated to Destiny Community Cafe to help sustain their efforts. 

Details on the entire Charleston area Rosa Parks pancake effort can be found at https://mailchi.mp/fb2d779e3ce3/charleston-saturday-remember-rosa-and-share-her-pancakes?e=[UNIQID]

Contact us for our current needs by calling William Hamilton at 843-870-5299 or by emailing wjhamilton29464@gmaill.com

A list of what we need is set out below. We'll delete items as the amount we need comes in on the blogpost you can find linked at the bottom of the list. If you prefer, financial donations can be made online at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bflt2022

In kind donations can be made by dropping them off at the home of William Hamilton at 32 Sowell St. Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464. Call before you buy so we can make sure we're filing out the list with the itmes we still need. We're also welcoming people who want to cook or do delivery driving on Saturday.
