About the Event
🌶️ “Chilly” Cook-Off & Community Choice Night
Get ready for a fun, flavorful evening at the PCIL “Chilly” Cook-Off & Community Choice Night!
Join us at the Progressive Center for Independent Living in Hamilton, New Jersey, for a night of connection, laughter, and friendly competition.
PCIL staff will bring their best signature chili recipes, and consumers take center stage as the judges—tasting, scoring, and voting to crown the winning chili. This interactive event is all about choice, community, and empowerment, core values of independent living for people with disabilities in Mercer County and surrounding areas.
Whether you’re coming to judge, cheer, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, this is a great way to connect with others, meet PCIL staff, and be part of a welcoming, inclusive community event.
