Support RSVVP Day!

"RSVVP" stands for "Restaurants Sharing 10 Percent" (the Vs are Roman numerals). Participating restaurants will contribute 10% of their total proceeds on that day to benefit the IFC Food Pantry and Community Kitchen.

Orange County restaurants have contributed over $348,000 on RSVVP Days over the past 22 years. Last year 100 restaurants raised a grand total of $20,044.29 for IFC food programs!

IFC is looking for donors to sponsor the promotional materials:  a graphic artist to design posters, brochures and table tents and the associated printing costs. Please support this important community-wide event. Your contribution will be nearly quadrupled in its effect on alleviating local hunger.

Go to the Connect to Charity page to make a donation online, or send a check to John Dorward at 110 W. Main Street - Carrboro, NC 27510.

Dine out on RSVVP Day for local hunger relief!

Welcome to March on Poverty

The Inter-Faith Council (IFC) believes that now is the time to stop poverty in its tracks. Many in our community are struggling to hang on; and many need the inspiration of our community leaders to do something about poverty's influence and prominence. We need everyone who cares about reducing poverty's hold over increasing numbers of Carrboro and Chapel Hill households and unsheltered persons. Our new March On Poverty blog summons you to our call and the original call of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the countless among us who have followed in his footsteps. You ask, "how long will this take?" Dr. King said "Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." Poverty is the primary cause of homelessness and hunger, two community challenges IFC volunteers and staff cross swords with daily. A lack of an adequate response by state, federal and local governments enable and procrastinate these conditions. We seek to create a just community, one that is committed to overcoming social problems by a greater commitment to the common good. We hope our blog will bring you more in touch with these issues. We hope you will come to know the facts about IFC future plans, new program models and new facilities commonly called Community House and FoodFirst. We hope you will join us.

Stay tuned! Stay in touch! March On!
