The 2020 JBJ Soul Kitchen Chili Cook-Off in Toms River; Showing Off Our Awesome First Responders

Chili is the word for JBJ Soul Kitchen's Chili Cook-Off for a great cause.

The Chili Cook-Off is all about the awesome creations of our local first responders and begins Tuesday ( October 27th, 2020) and runs for four weeks, according to the patch.com. It's the 6th Annual JBJ Soul Kitchen Chili Cook-Off. The first responder's chili will be an appetizer on the menu for the next four weeks.

A $20 donation, you get a three course meal and when you order a "featured" chili made by one of your favorite first responders, the contestant receives a point. The first responder group with the most points wins.

This year the Chili Cook-Off you have the option of curbside pick-up due to Covid-19. All donations help feed families in need in the community. Click here to order online.

JBJ Soul Kitchen has been helping feed the community since the summertime during the pandemic. JBJ Soul Kitchen offers dine in and or take-out.

The first responders in Ocean and Monmouth Counties participating with their chili:
