What is Pancake Day?

Pancake Day is a fun and easy way to raise funds to support UnitingCare's work with the homeless, abused and vulnerable children and adults, the frail aged, families in crisis and those with disabilities.

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.
