WIN’s 1st Annual Fall Chili Cookoff

Westside Interfaith Network (WIN) will be hosting their 1st Annual Fall Chili Cookoff, October 19th at 6 pm at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Admiral next to West Seattle High School. Faith communities will be entering their best chili recipes for sample accompanied with cornbread, salads, beer and wine for a fun evening of socialization, community and impact.

WIN is an interfaith group of people across West Seattle-White Center area who are working together to address the needs of neighbors through service compassion and action. The fundraiser will benefit their yearly projects which primarily includes a weekly community meal in White Center every Saturday called the Welcome Table where essential commodities such as hygiene, clothing and food are distributed to those experiencing food insecurities and hardships. Tickets are $15 each. During the event, purchases available will be Chili Voting Tickets, Dessert Dash, and commodity packages to supply the Welcome Table outreach program.

Fauntleroy Church & Y Chili Fest Cook-off

On Wednesday, October 16, we will kick off celebrating our 100 years with the Y with a chili fest/cook-off in Fellowship Hall. Come for the fun, enjoy the chili, engage some friendly competition and participate in a worthy cause! All proceeds for the event will go to a joint campaign of Fauntleroy Church and the West Seattle/Fauntleroy YMCA to buy and eliminate medical debt through "Undue Medical Debt," an amazing nonprofit doing great work to lift the burden of unpaid medical bills off the backs of struggling individuals and families. 

 Many UCC conferences and churches have engaged similar campaigns with Undue Medical Debt (formerly "Rest in Peace Medical Debt"), as well as other organizations, city and state governments. Check out the amazing work this nonprofit is doing at www.unduemedicaldebt.org  As followers of Christ, we look forward to engaging this shared economic justice effort with the YMCA as our missions align to lift burdens off the backs of the disadvantaged and make our world a better place!
