Super Bowl Party & Chili Cook-off

Our Super Bowl Party was so much fun!

On Sunday, February 9, 2025, we gathered at Safehouse Outreach to enjoy some food, fellowship, and the Super Bowl together.

We had a fun time as a community as the turnout was great with 158 guests and 51 volunteers. The weather was splendid, so everyone was able to enjoy hanging out both outside and inside before and during the game. The chili was abundant and delicious as folks kept going back for more helpings and everyone got plenty.

It was great to see everyone connecting and interacting over chili and cornbread, whether it was discussing the ball game with a little bit of trash talk lol, or something else going on. It was clear this time together was meaningful and that our guests felt seen, heard, and welcomed in that space.

Even though the game itself was not competitive or compelling, that didn’t prevent us from enjoying watching it together, trying to predict what would happen next, or debating the play calling. Most importantly, it was a time where kinship was built among our community and the line between guests and volunteers was blurred where we were all just hanging out together.

We want to say thank you to SafeHouse for hosting us once again! It was beautiful to see how the Lord transformed a parking lot and large interior room into a space where kindness and dignity could be present in tangible ways. We also want to thank all of our volunteers who participated - whether you made chili, or helped with setup, or registration, or hospitality. Your presence made a difference in the lives of our friends facing homelessness, and we are grateful that you chose to hang out with our community for the Super Bowl.
