For the third consecutive year, STH volunteers and Community Ambassadors came together to raise funds for the greatest needs of Sojourner Truth House at Applebee’s in Merrillville, Indiana. The annual Pancake Breakfast has become a meaningful tradition, bringing supporters together for a morning of food, fellowship, and purpose.

Guests enjoyed a delicious breakfast of pancakes, bacon, coffee, and juice, along with door prizes and the opportunity to connect with fellow supporters who share a passion for empowering women and families in our community. The warm and welcoming atmosphere reflected the heart of Sojourner Truth House, a place where dignity, hope, and opportunity are nurtured every day.

Months of planning went into this successful event. Our dedicated STH Community Ambassadors worked behind the scenes to sell tickets, secure prizes, spread the word, and coordinate logistics. Throughout the year, these Ambassadors raise awareness, advocate for our mission, and fundraise to ensure that the families we serve have access to the resources they need to thrive.

We are especially grateful for the time, energy, and generosity of our volunteers who filled coffee cups, cleared tables, welcomed guests with smiles, and helped create a joyful and seamless experience. Their dedication made the morning not only successful, but truly special.

Funds raised from the Pancake Breakfast directly support the greatest needs of Sojourner Truth House, allowing us to respond flexibly and compassionately to the families who walk through our doors seeking support, stability, and hope for a brighter future.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, purchased tickets, and supported this event. Your generosity strengthens our mission and reminds us that when a community comes together, lasting impact is possible.
