EARL PARK, Ind. — A community pancake breakfast in Earl Park aims to support local volunteer firefighters Sunday.
According to the Richland Township Volunteer Fire Department, the annual pancake breakfast will take place Sunday, March 15, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (EST) at the fire department building located at 104 W. 5th Street in Earl Park.
Organizers say the event will feature a full breakfast menu including biscuits and gravy, pancakes, eggs, potatoes, and other items, with food served throughout the morning and early afternoon.
The department said the breakfast operates on a free-will donation basis, allowing community members to contribute any amount while supporting the local volunteer fire service. Funds raised typically help support equipment needs, operational costs, and community programs run by the department.
According to a post shared by the Benton County Indiana Sheriff’s Department and the Richland Township Volunteer Fire Department, the event date was adjusted this year. Officials noted the breakfast was moved from its usual Palm Sunday timing due to spring break scheduling.
Community breakfasts like this are common fundraising events for volunteer fire departments across rural Indiana, providing both financial support and an opportunity for residents to meet local firefighters.
Students, young workers, and commuters passing through Benton County that morning may also find the event a convenient weekend breakfast stop while supporting local emergency services.
Organizers say everyone in the community is welcome to attend.
