Join us in celebrating our 11th Annual Chili Cook-Off!

 

The Chili Cook-Off returns on Saturday, October 24, at JBJ Soul Kitchen in Toms River! One of our favorite community events of the year, this fun-filled afternoon brings together local first responders as they compete for the title of Best Chili while raising awareness for JBJ Soul Kitchen's mission to fight food insecurity and strengthen our community. With more than 400 attendees expected, it's a great opportunity for the community to come together, enjoy an afternoon of friendly competition, and support our neighbors facing food insecurity. 

Your sponsorship directly supports the mission of JBJ Soul Kitchen, helping us provide nutritious 3-course meals in a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

JBJ Soul Kitchen is a non-profit Community Restaurant established by the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. We welcome both paying diners and guests experiencing food insecurity. We are committed to creating a community where All Are Welcome and treated with dignity. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you, we can continue serving our neighbors in need. During the first half of 2026, more than 80% of the meals served at our Toms River location were provided to guests experiencing food insecurity.

Sponsoring the Chili Cook-Off is also a great way to put your business in front of a highly engaged audience. With a variety of sponsorship opportunities available, your business will receive recognition through event signage, social media, email marketing, our website, and promotional materials, reaching supporters both locally and nationwide.
