Pancake day fund-raising

A pharmacy in Umina will hold a Pancake Day charity fund-raising event from 9am to 2pm on Friday, February 23.

The Umina ChemWorld in Umina will be holding at the pharmacy at 299 West St, Umina Beach.

Pancakes will cost $2 with all the fund raised goes to UnitingCare Pancake Day.

For every pancake sold on the day, the ChemWorld will also donate 20 cents towards the fund.

Pancake Day is a charity fund raising event for UnitingCare.

"Pancake Day is a fun and easy way to raise funds to support UnitingCare's work in local communities with the homeless, abused and vulnerable children and adults, the frail aged, families in crisis and those with disabilities," said ChemWorld employee Ms Titania Ng.

"On Pancake Day, held annually on Shrove Tuesday, thousands of individuals, school, community, church and business groups nation-wide cook and sell pancakes to raise funds for UnitingCare's work with Australians in need."
