Restaurants, Sign Up for RSVVP 2021

 

Dear Local Food and Restaurant Community,

Thank you to the restaurants who have already signed up for RSVVP on November 9th this year. If you haven’t signed up, it's not too late! I hope you will join your colleagues and IFC this year for this much-anticipated annual fund-raiser to benefit food security efforts in our community.    

_____________________________________________________________

What is RSVVP?
Restaurants that participate in RSVVP agree to donate 10% of their gross receipts for the day to IFC's food security programs. Since the event’s inception in 1989, this partnership between restaurants and IFC has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to relieve hunger right here in our area.

_____________________________________________________________

Why should my food establishment participate?

  • This event will drive additional business to you on the day of the event.
  • RSVVP will be publicized through IFC and Carrboro Business Alliance.
  • RSVVP Day has a large and loyal following that looks forward to the event.
  • If you sign up, we will publicize your restaurant's participation and encourage our community to order take-out for themselves or someone else, dine-in as available, and purchase gift cards and merchandise.

This year, the event will take place on Tuesday, November 9th.
