ABOUT RSVVP DAY
On Tuesday, November 15, 2005, Triangle residents will have the opportunity to help feed the hungry in their communities when they patronize any local restaurant participating in the 17th annual RSVVP (Restaurants Sharing V/5 + V/5 Percent) Day.
This year, hundreds of restaurants throughout Chapel Hill/Carrboro, Durham and Raleigh are being encouraged to participate in this RSVVP event to aid shelters and community kitchens throughout the Triangle area. Funds are raised through the donations of participating restaurants that pledge 10 percent of their gross receipts on RSVVP Day for breakfast, lunch, dinner or take-out meals. SunTrust Bank (formerly CCB) funded all administrative costs for this event.
Because of SunTrust's generosity, all proceeds from this popular annual fund-raiser benefit the Food Bank of North Carolina, the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service, and The Urban Ministries of Durham Community Kitchen. The RSVVP Program began in 1989 with participation by restaurants in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. A year later, when Raleigh and Durham joined the program, it became an annual Triangle-wide event.
