Today is Veterans Day – and it’s also RSVVP Day, where more than a hundred restaurants in our community pledge 10 percent of their proceeds to the Inter-Faith Council for Social Services.
It’s one of the IFC’s biggest annual fundraisers; last year’s RSVVP Day raised nearly $21,000.
RSVVP stands for “Restaurants Sharing 10 Percent.” (The two V’s are roman-numeral fives. Go with it.) It was launched 26 years ago by Irene Briggaman, and the IFC keeps it going today with the help of hundreds of local community members and business leaders.
Irene Briggaman and IFC executive director John Dorward spoke with WCHL’s Aaron Keck about RSVVP.
Head out to eat at participating restaurants all day long – breakfast, lunch and dinner – and 10 percent of the proceeds will benefit the IFC’s hunger-relief programs, the Community Kitchen and the Food Pantry.

WCHL is proud to be a presenting sponsor of the event alongside the Daily Tar Heel and the Chapel Hill News.
In case you’re wondering, there are six restaurants in our community who have participated every single year: Carolina Crossroads; Crook’s Corner; Il Palio; Sal’s Pizza and Ristorante; the Weathervane at Southern Season; and the Weaver Street Market Café in Carrboro.
