During these long, snowy days of winter, there’s nothing like a big bowl of hot chili to warm the heart. That’s why a chili feed is a terrific fundraiser at this time of year. Another option is to schedule your event for February 22 since this is National Chili Day!
Here’s how:
- Get your volunteers together and prepare several crockpots of chili using a variety of recipes. You’ll find a few of our favorites at the end of this post.
- I suggest you serve primarily traditional chili, but it’s also fun to add a few specialty recipes. There are lots of options: no-bean, vegetarian, chicken, fiery hot, or venison.
- Provide a variety of toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onion, and crushed tortilla chips. We find it works best to have volunteers measure out the toppings for each person, as some guests are overly generous when piling on their toppings. This helps prevent running out of toppings, and it also assures your event is a good fundraiser.
