Chili Chowdown 2023
Our Fifth Annual Chili Cook Off
Thank you to our extraordinary community for coming out in support of the Springs Food Pantry. We loved being back together for Springs' "hottest" event of the year--for the first time since 2020. With your help, we raised over $24,000!

Housing costs, rising fuel and utility expenses, combined with inflationary food costs, are forcing more and more of our neighbors to look to us for assistance. We are currently feeding over 225 families every Wednesday and our weekly food distribution expenses now exceed $20,000. Your generosity and commitment make a difference.
An extra special thank you to the chefs and businesses who donated their food, beverage, and talent for the event:
