RARITAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Hunterdon County) — Hunterdon County Commissioner Deputy Director Jeff Kuhl is inviting residents and families to celebrate the holiday season at the annual “Pancakes with Maple the Snowman” community breakfast on Saturday, Dec. 5.
The free, family-friendly event will take place from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at the Hunterdon County Complex, 314 Route 12 in Raritan Township.
Hosted by the Hunterdon County Stigma-Free Task Force, the breakfast will feature pancakes, games, crafts, winter-themed activities and opportunities for residents to connect with local organizations focused on behavioral health awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use challenges.
“This annual event is a wonderful opportunity to bring families and community partners together for a morning of fun, friendship, and holiday cheer,” said Commissioner Kuhl. “Through the efforts of our Stigma-Free Task Force, Hunterdon County continues to promote awareness, encourage open conversations about behavioral health, and connect residents with valuable community resources.”
In addition to enjoying breakfast with Maple the Snowman, attendees will have an opportunity to meet representatives from local organizations and learn about programs and services available to support individuals and families throughout Hunterdon County.
Organizers will also collect new or gently used winter outdoor clothing and nonperishable food items to assist local residents in need during the holiday season.
“The holiday season is also a time to remember our neighbors who may need a little extra support,” Kuhl added. “I encourage residents to bring their families, enjoy a delicious breakfast, and consider donating winter clothing or food items to help make the season a little brighter for others.”
The event is free and open to the public, with residents of all ages welcome to attend. Advance registration through Eventbrite is encouraged.
The annual breakfast aims to bring families and community organizations together while promoting behavioral health awareness, connecting residents with available resources and encouraging charitable giving during the holiday season.
