The Original Pancake House will be closed Christmas Day to serve breakfast to the disadvantaged of our community. This is the 10th year the area restaurants have come together for the benefit breakfast, and event organizers expect 900 to 1,000 guests between its Washington, D.C. area locations, including its restaurant in Falls Church.

The restaurant seeks donations of new or gently used outerwear in adult or child sizes, which will be distributed to guests during the event.

Donations can be dropped off at any area location by Dec. 23.

Cash donations will also be accepted to defray the cost of providing transportation to those who have no way of getting to the breakfast.

The Original Pancake House is located at 7395 Lee Highway, Suite M, Falls Church.
