It's beginning to feel like Thanksgiving!

Bags of Thanksgiving meals fill the IFC offices! IFC is giving out over 900 holiday meals this year. Still lots of money to raise to pay for holiday meals. It's not too late to donate...http://www.ifcweb.org/holidaymeals.html

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.

Wealth Gap in United States Between Younger and Older Americans is at its Highest.

An article released today by the Associated Press notes that the largest recorded wealth gap between younger and older Americans currently exists. Figures show that a U.S. household headed by a person 65 or older is likely to have a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35. This means that the wealth gap is more than double what it was in 2005 and nearly 5 times what it was 25 years ago, after adjusting for inflation.  37 percent of households headed by a person 35 or younger, report having a net worth of zero or less.

Don't forget that tomorrow is RSVVP!

 "RSVVP" stands for Restaurants Sharing Ten Percent. Participating restaurants will contribute 10% of their total proceeds on Tuesday, November 8 to benefit the IFC Food Pantry and Community Kitchen.

Remember that this includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. So please eat "early and often" on Election Day to help reduce hunger in our community!
