Cookin’ to Build, an all-you-can-eat chili and soup cook-off event hosted by and benefiting Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity, will take place this year on Saturday, Nov. 1, on the Murfreesboro Public Square.

Funds raised from Cookin’ to Build will help Habitat for Humanity build more affordable homes for local low-to moderate-income families.

“I am excited to see our community come together for an event that supports our local Habitat affiliate in its mission to build safe, affordable homes for families in need,” said Megan Hutchings, community outreach coordinator for Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity.

Event tickets include all-you-can-eat chili, soup, stew, desserts and drinks at the cook-off event, plus a bowl to take home and a tote bag. This marks the 18th year for Cookin’ to Build.

Through Oct. 15, those interested in painting one of the custom bowls used at the event may do so at Color Me Mine at The Avenue.

Cookin’ to Build tickets are available for $30 at Color Me Mine or at rchfh.org/cookin-to-build.
