L’Arche NC & Duke Memorial Chili Cook-Off
March 7 | Duke Memorial UMC
504 W. Chapel Hill Street, Durham, NC 27701
Join L’Arche North Carolina and Duke Memorial for an evening that’s about much more than chili (though the chili will be very good). All proceeds from the Chili Cook-Off will support the Friendship Moving Forward Campaign, helping L’Arche NC purchase the Friendship Houses in Durham and expand housing, friendship, and belonging for adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Want to compete? To enter the Chili Cook-Off, please email [email protected]. Participation is limited to the first 20 individuals who sign up. Three awards will be given:
Best Overall Chili
Most Unique Chili
Best Vegetarian Chili
Your ticket includes a full bowl of chili, the opportunity to sample the competition, and the chance to cast your vote.
Not bringing chili? Come eat, play, and connect. This gathering is more than a fundraiser—it’s an invitation to experience the joy, laughter, and radical hospitality that define L’Arche. A dedicated space will be set up for games and fun, making it a welcoming night for all ages.
Come for the chili. Stay for the belonging.
