We hope you will join us for next year’s Annual Wild Blueberry Pancake Breakfast!
For over 25 years, LITE’s programs have been creating jobs and breaking down barriers to employment in Winnipeg. Our annual Wild Blueberry Pancake Breakfast is the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts, and wouldn’t be possible without you!
On Friday, November 24th 2023 from 8am-11am, at the Ukrainian Labour Temple the 26th Annual Breakfast celebrated the community that you have all been part of building.
This year, we arranged for two seatings so everyone could attend safely.
If you missed the Breakfast, or would like to support Job Creation any time of the year, consider purchasing a Job Supporter Care Package.
Instead of the event, we’ll send you our LITE & Fluffy Pancake Mix and Wild Blueberry Jam, to make a fantastic breakfast on your schedule.
