Food Fight presented by Citizens Energy Group is Westminster's biggest fundraising event in support of our mission on the Near Eastside. In this "Chopped" style competition, local high school culinary programs set out against each other and compete for the title of Master Chef. Using items from the Westminster Food Pantry, teams concoct an array of appetizers, and the winner is chosen by our panel of judges!

In honor of our tenth annual Food Fight, we have a fundraising goal of $100,000 this year and with your help we can serve more individuals and families on the Near Eastside together!

The event will feature a silent auction onsite with live online bidding through the end of the event. All items will be distributed at the end of the event. Contribute an item to our silent auction to help us raise more funds and put your brand on display! Whether it's a unique experience, a handcrafted item, or a special gift, your contribution will be showcased online and at the event.

Doors will open at 5:30pm. Event will begin at 6:00pm.

Please email Emily Nelson with any questions or for additional information.

Event sponsorships play a crucial role in reaching our goal while also providing valuable recognition and engagement for our sponsors. Check out our Food Fight sponsorship opportunities here.
