Three Chopt sandwich shop at 103 Third Avenue East is hosting a pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday to raise money for Hurricane Matthew flood victims in Eastern North Carolina.
“One-hundred percent is going to North Carolina disaster relief fund,” Matthew Rogers. “We’ll have a table with a big basket. We’ll just collect money. They can give whatever they want for the breakfast. We won’t take anything for the food. If I have to spend $1,000 on food so be it.”
The menu will include pancakes, Three Chopt’s famous cheddar fries, bacon, fresh fruit and orange juice and coffee.
“If you’ve seen the situation in Eastern North Caroline you know they’re in bad shape,” Rogers said. “We’re blessed. This is our 35th year in business. My parents were great people and I’ve lost them both now. My dad would say, ‘If you have a problem, do something about it. Don’t watch.’”
