Local IHOP restaurants in Spokane, Spokane Valley and Coeur d’Alene will offer a free short stack of pancakes all day Tuesday to help support area Young Life youth groups.The promotion is part of National Pancake Day, a centuries-old tradition in England known as Shrove Tuesday. Customers are invited to make a donation to Young Life for every short stack (three) of pancakes served. Young Life is a multidenominational outreach ministry that strives to build relationships with teenagers, and in doing so help them navigate the rough waters of adolescence.
