On its website, the breakfast restaurant chain said that from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time it will offer three free buttermilk pancakes per guest at participating restaurants for customers dining in.

IHOP is pairing its promotion with its new Stacking Up Joy program, a monthlong fundraising campaign intended to assist those suffering from food insecurity, according to USA Today.

As part of its program, IHOP is partnering with Feeding America for a β€œMonth of Giving,” according to a news release. Guests will be invited to add additional money to their checks while dining in or ordering online.

β€œMillions of people are working hard every day to provide for themselves and their families, yet nearly 1 in 7 people in the U.S. are unable to access the food they need to thrive,” Lauren Biedron, senior vice president of corporate partnerships at Feeding America, said in a statement. β€œTackling food insecurity is not something we can do alone, and we are thrilled to have partners like IHOP join us in the movement to end hunger -- to directly support our communities and nourish futures.”

No purchase is necessary, although a $1 donation is required at locations in New York and New Jersey, according to the IHOP website.
