The Original Pancake House DFW Partners with UGM Dallas on Backpack Drive

The Original Pancake House DFW (OPH-DFW) has partnered with UGM Dallas to send children living in homeless shelters back to school with brand new school supplies. When Guests perform a good deed by donating supplies, OPH-DFW will return the good deed with 10% off breakfast and lunch orders. OPH-DFW will be collecting backpacks, lunchboxes, notebooks and other critical supplies beginning July 19th through August 10th at all 7 OPH-DFW locations.

The Schoolhouse Connection noted that homelessness creates significant barriers to academic success resulting in graduation and proficiency rates for homeless students significantly lower than economically disadvantaged students. Homelessness leads to chronic absenteeism that results in children falling behind.

To donate, individuals can find the nearest location at https://ophdfw.com/locations/. For more information about OPH-DFW, visit www.ophdfw.com. For more information on UGM Dallas, visit www.ugmdallas.org.
