On Saturday, Feb. 22, Aurora Advent Christian Church, 905 N. Edgelawn Drive, will host a 28th annual pancake breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. to benefit Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity.
The public is invited.
Admission is $7 for adults, Children under 10 are free. Parking is free.
The menu includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, coffee, and orange juice. The event is sponsored by the church's outreach committee.
The breakfast will benefit Faith Build 2020, a partnership of Kane, Kendall and DuPage-county faith communities to build a Habitat house at 423 Parker Ave. in Aurora.
Information about Habitat projects and volunteer opportunities will be available at the breakfast.
More churches are invited to partner in the effort. Rev. Jeff Barrett, Habitat executive director and pastor at Genesis Community Church in Montgomery, said Habitat hopes to mobilize 30 churches for the project.
