Pancake House Perks: IHOP Grants
Flipping Out for Flapjacks
Believe it or not, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services gave $500,000 to build an IHOP in a Washington, D.C. neighborhood. The goal? To create 70 full-time jobs for low-income workers who qualified for government financial assistance. So next time you enjoy a stack of pancakes, remember it’s not just syrupy goodness; it’s also a job creation initiative!
Stacks of Opportunity
While it may sound like a delicious dream, the IHOP grant was part of a broader effort to stimulate employment. The idea was to serve up job opportunities alongside those short stacks. Though it might seem like a half-baked plan, the initiative was aimed at helping communities rise—one pancake at a time. So, if you’re ever in D.C., drop by and enjoy a bite of government-funded breakfast bliss.
