WABASH COUNTY, IN- The Chili for Charity committee is pleased to announce the ten Wabash County Charities chosen to benefit from this year’s Chili Cook-off Event, taking place Saturday, October 15th, 2022.
Emily Overlander, President of the Chili for Charity committee, said “Although the number of funding applicants were down slightly in 2022, several charities applied to benefit from the event proceeds, which provide the much-needed funding that so many Wabash County Charities have come to rely on. The charities chosen will benefit not only from the event proceeds, but also from the amazing community support, recognition, and related publicity surrounding this incredible, one-day event. By spotlighting each of the charities chosen, we hope to bring additional awareness of the charity to both those who support Wabash County charities, as well as those who can benefit from their vital goods and services.”
They are thrilled to support the following Wabash County Charities in 2022:
Blessings in a Backpack – Wabash
CASA Wabash County
Disabled American Vets of Wabash County
FISH of Wabash
Foundation for Art and Music in Education
Growing Grounds
Honeywell Educational Outreach
Kiwanis Club

Since it’s inception Chili for Charity, including United Fund, has donated over $655,000 to 75 different organizations through 2021.
