On Sunday, you can join in the effort to help those less fortunate by visiting one of the many brunch sites for a pancake, egg and sausage breakfast.
Cost of the brunch is $7 for adults and $5 for seniors and children.
Several Montgomery County churches and organizations are participating including American Legion Post 598 in Kettering, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Dayton, Community United Methodist in Riverside and Epiphany Lutheran Church in Centerville.
For a complete list of brunch sites, visit Day of Caring 365’s website.

Mack’s Tavern in Washington Twp. opened as a neighborhood dive bar with beer, food and service 10 years ago and since then, nothing has changed — something that brings the owner pride.
“It’s very humbling,” said Owner MacKenzie Manley. “We’ve been very lucky that people have supported us for 10 years. When we opened, I didn’t know if this would be a bar or if we’d make it one week or one day.”
I stopped by the bar earlier this week and tried Manley’s signature “Count Chickula” pizza featuring her house made sweet heat sauce, chicken, bacon and a mozzarella, provolone cheese blend. It’s a must-try!

Whisperz Speakeasy, a prohibition-era style cocktail lounge in West Carrollton, is transporting guests back in time to the Roaring Twenties.
Owners Julie and David Ziemba were inspired to create a lounge for those 25 and up with a password required entry back in 2012.
“We were in Chicago and stumbled into a small, little jazz bar,” David Ziemba said.
With a love for traveling, they pulled ideas from the Chicago jazz bar, other night clubs and even cigar bars to create a space where sophistication and culinary artistry intertwine.
The lounge has nearly 85 different wines from all over the world, limited edition bourbon, handcrafted cocktails and much more.
Our article will tell you how to get the password to enter this new speakeasy-style venue.
