Waffles with a Side of Love

Proceeds from the waffle breakfast will be used to supply teddy bears and blankets to comfort children in crisis.

Save-the-Date: 12th Annual Hugs From Hunter Foundation Waffle Breakfast

There’s nothing quite like the smell of warm waffles in the morning—especially when they’re served with a purpose. Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 11, 2025, and join us at Christ Community Church in Rochester, MN for the 12th Annual Hugs From Hunter Foundation Waffle Breakfast!

This beloved event is more than just a chance to enjoy all-you-can-eat Dad’s Belgian Waffles piled high with all the fixings—it’s an opportunity to give back. Proceeds from the breakfast help us provide teddy bears and security blankets to children in crisis across Minnesota. These small but powerful items offer comfort and hope to kids going through incredibly tough times, and every waffle you eat helps make that possible.

The breakfast is held in partnership with the youth group at Christ Community Church—the same church Hunter Biermeier and his family call home. Over the years, this event has grown into a beautiful tradition of love, community, and syrupy goodness.

Tickets go on sale online in September, with discounted pricing available through Thursday, October 9. Children 3 and under eat free, and tickets will also be available at the door (cash or check only).

So bring your appetite, your family, and your heart. Whether you come for the waffles or the mission behind them, we promise you’ll leave full—in more ways than one.

We can’t wait to see you there and share another morning of joy, community, and compassion. Let’s make this the biggest and best waffle breakfast yet!
