Today is National Pancake Day and to celebrate, the International House of Pancakes is offering every person in America a free short stack of its signature buttermilk pancakes for free.

The popular breakfast restaurant has celebrated National Pancake Day since 2006 and has raised nearly $8 million to support charities in the communities that it operates in.

The pancakes are technically free, however IHOP goers are asked to consider leaving a donation for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other designated local charities, IHOP's website says.

The closest three IHOP restaurants to the Webster Groves, Rock Hill and Warson Woods areas include:

• 6301 Chippewa St. in South St. Louis; 
• 8049 Clayton Rd. in Clayton;
• 10893 Sunset Plaza in Sunset Hills.
