A Benefit to the Needs of Mid-County Homeless
The Great Chili Cook-Off is a fundraiser hosted by the faith communities group, Mid-County Homeless Coalition (MCHC). All proceeds will be used to support the needs of homeless men, women and children in the Aptos, Soquel, and Capitola area. MCHC is especially interested in addressing the need for showers. Faith Communities are invited to accept the challenge, turn up the heat and compete in the Great Chili Cook-Off! Prizes and bragging rights will be awarded in three categories: beef chili, meat (other than beef) chili, and veggie chili.
Winners will be decided by People’s Choice vote (bribery allowed!) and Blind Taste Test by celebrity judges. There will also be special honors for Most Spirited Chili Team. Churches and Faith Communities interested in registering can call 831-325-9615 or email [email protected]
Live music will be provided by two local faves: The Coastal Band (formerly Farmer’s Market String Band), and cover band, B Movie Kings!
Entry ticket includes chili tastings, cornbread, and dessert. Twenty People’s Choice voting tickets are included with the entry fee. Extra voting tickets (to stuff the ballot boxes!) can be purchased for 1.00 each. The community is invited to an evening of chili, music, friends and fun!
Friday, March 18 from 6 to 9 p.m. Resurrection Catholic Community Meeting Hall, 7600 Soquel Drive, Aptos.
