Brunch for Backpacks

Join us for a delicious brunch with purpose and enjoy live ukulele music! Gather with friends and family for a buffet-style brunch featuring a waffle station, eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, home fries, tots, mini quiches, bagels, fruit, muffins, chicken tenders, and more.

The bar will be open for drink purchases, and 10% of all bar proceeds will benefit , a local initiative led by the Hooksett Area Rotary Club and its partners, which provides thousands of New Hampshire students with fully supplied backpacks at the start of each school year.

🎒 Every $15 raised helps give a student the supplies they need to feel confident, prepared, and supported from day one. In 2025, we are assembling and distributing over 3,270 backpacks filled with more than 90,000 school supplies to students in the Greater Manchester area, foster care programs, and NH Veteran Centers.

Your brunch makes a difference. Eat well and do good!
