A Raleigh couple tells their story of being out of work for a year and living in their vehicle.  Raleigh News Station, WRAL, aired a story on the Monday night news of a local couple facing homelessness.  It's an account worth reading... http://www.wral.com/lifestyles/family/story/10750569/ . Also, be sure to check out the follow up story to this article at ... http://www.wral.com/lifestyles/family/story/10757849/  and read the ways that fellow North Carolinians came together to help this couple. We can work together to end homelessness.

Today is the day! What are your dinner plans?

Today is RSVVP day when restaurants give back 10% of their proceeds to the IFC for Community Kitchen and Food Pantry programs. 20.1% of Orange County's population is in poverty and struggling with inadequate food supplies. As you vote today, please remember those who are struggling with food insecurity by eating out at one of the restaurants listed on IFC's website. By supporting local restaurants, you are supporting those in need.
