Chili mission: Come taste the heat and help feed the hungry

There will be plenty to enjoy this weekend at the annual Really Chili Challenge in downtown Goldsboro.

From the clever booths to pot after pot of yummy chili, there could not be a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

And as if the chili were not enough, the event also accomplishes something else -- the proceeds benefit the Community Soup Kitchen, which provides meals for the hungry.

In this day and age, many of us cannot imagine that there are still people going hungry. We can't imagine what it must be like to choose between paying a bill and dinner.

The Soup Kitchen welcomes everyone and asks no questions. If you need a meal, you can get one there. And many families and individuals rely on it every day.

The Chili Challenge is a fun competition with a real purpose -- to put food on the Soup Kitchen's table. So come on out. Your stomach -- and your heart -- will feel great afterwards.
