The Rotary Club of Canton recently presented the proceeds from its first-ever Pancakes with Santa breakfast, which raised $1,244 for local food pantries.
The inaugural event was held on Saturday Dec. 1 at Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services' BridgeMill Fire Station.
The crowd enjoyed pancakes and bacon cooked up by Rotarians and visited with Santa and Mrs. Claus, thanks to Cherokee Fire's own Tim Cavender and his wife, Pam, who generously donated their time.
The proceeds were split between MUST Ministries in Canton and Papa's Pantry in Woodstock, which each were given a check for $622 by the Rotary Club.
Club President Jeff Mitchell said he greatly appreciated everyone who made the event a success, adding he hopes it becomes an annual community service project for the club.
