The Eating Together Campaign, launched in 2011, is offering a complimentary pancake breakfast to raise awareness of the benefits of families eating together — research shows families who regularly share meals bond and connect more effectively, have fewer problems, and stay together.
The event also raises funds for Touchstone Family Association’s barrier-free Front Porch Program, which provides counselling to families in need and have no place to turn.
Taking place on Feb. 19 at DeBeck Elementary School at 8600 Ash St., there will be activities for the whole family. Attendance is free and the breakfast will be cooked and served by the Richmond Firefighters Charitable Society.
