Free IHOP Pancakes In Howard County On National Pancake Day

COLUMBIA, MD — Everyone, stop what you're doing. Do you know what day it is?

It's Free Pancake Day at IHOP.

In honor of National Pancake Day, the California-based chain is giving away free short stacks of buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. This dine-in only deal is limited to one short stack per person while supplies last.

In return for the free pancakes, guests will be asked to consider donating to one of IHOP's charity partners, such as the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals), The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and Shriners Hospitals for Children. The fundraiser will help children battling critical illnesses, the company said in a statement.

"Every year we look forward to kicking off our IHOP Free Pancake Day - Flip it Forward for Kids campaign because it combines the two things we love most - pancakes and helping our communities, " said Stephanie Peterson, executive director of communications.
